(OUR) STORY

Over the past decade, Creative Office has worked across a wide spectrum, from crafting unique experiences for chocolate pieces to shaping the future of medical technology with cutting-edge MRI machines. This journey has spanned three continents, six countries, and ten cities, offering a deep and diverse exposure to design strategies, methodologies, and cultures.

We’ve operated in every kind of environment: from in-house roles at global corporations with over 1,200 employees, to collaborations with agencies and consultancies of 50 to 100 people, to small studios of around 10. We’ve also been embedded in early-stage startups, helping build companies from just a handful of founders.

Creative Office was born out of one of the most defining chapters of this journey: a collaboration with Aeris Cleantec AG, a Swiss startup dedicated to building advanced air purification systems that perform in even the harshest conditions. What began as a two-week design contract in 2015 grew into a five-year partnership, culminating in Creative Office becoming a shareholder in exchange for design services.

That partnership led to Aeris’ acquisition by iRobot in 2021.

This experience reinforced a belief at the core of Creative Office: that long-term design involvement can be a powerful driver of a company’s success. You can read more about this in our manifesto.

Now, Creative Office want to do it again at scale, building a new kind of agency. One that partners with ambitious startups not just as a service provider, but as an invested ally. Our aim is to go beyond design for hire. We want to co-create the next generation of impactful products, side by side with the teams building them.

Let’s build something extraordinary—together.
