How We Work

We help our clients tell their unique stories, connect with their audiences and execute their visions by combining artful expression with modern utility.

Our work bridges the gap between ethos and function, personality and features, impression and affect. To do this, we provide our clients with a mixture of creative visualization, systems thinking and strategic perspective.

What We Make

We start with an insight or idea and give it form. We build on it, add-to it, refine and extend it, until we uncover the idea’s true potential. The end deliverables come in a variety of formats—prototypes, written strategies, design explorations, structures and systems, etc… all with the goal of generating momentum and making something real.

Our Studio

We aspire to make work that is timeless, inclusive, progressive and hopeful. We are optimists and realists. We chose the name Century because it reminds us to be aware of what came before while staying focused on the future.

As designers, strategists, artists and creators we learn from the past while thoughtfully pushing forward. To do this, we need a mix of people. Both polymaths and specialists, with different backgrounds, perspectives and philosophies. Together we cultivate, explore, define, collaborate, refine, iterate and create.
