Working together
We consult to creative business owners, sharing our experience (of owning and running a design studio), research, and insights (from a decade spent mentoring many Australian creative business owners).
Our onlyness is our knowledge of the Australian design industry. We’re not just mentors or coaches – we’re practitioners – we’ve spent our career having skin in the game. We know what it’s like to balance creativity with productivity; client needs with profit, and flexibility with deadlines.
We know we have the muscle to help creative business owners because:
- we walk the talk, we co-founded and ran a successful design studio for many years
- we know and understand the challenges of a start-up, with tight budgets and big dreams
- since starting DBC we’ve spoken with and advised literally hundreds of Australian design studios
- we understand the Australian creative landscape and how it differs to other countries
- we managed a team of creatives for over 20 years – we know that’s tough
- we managed a stable of loyal clients – we know that’s just as tough
- we’ve helped reposition, rebalance and refocus many creative firms.
