Studio — MEK | Impact-Led Design Studio Melbourne

MEK

We work at the heart of design and impact, helping brands accelerate their influence to create the change the world needs.

ENVIRONMENTWe partner with companies redefining systems, landscapes, and materials—from circular economy and conservation to sustainable food systems and built environments. We help them communicate their mission with confidence and clarity to restore balance between people, animals, and the planet.

CULTUREWe work with organisations and changemakers building a better world grounded in equity and care. From community initiatives and advocacy groups to creative industries and cultural institutions, we craft design that elevates culture and advances collective progress.

TECHNOLOGY We collaborate with founders and teams building the next generation of technology—from climate, bio, space, and ethical tech to clean energy, science, innovation and beyond. We translate complex ideas into accessible stories for the people who need to understand them.
