We are Modern Human, a design practice and innovation consultancy.

Modern Human was founded on the philosophy that the products and services we all use should improve modern life. We should all be enriched, empowered and liberated by the technology available to us.

We believe that people are innately curious and creative, and that this latent creative ability can be harnessed and used to solve problems: both business problems and social ones. Our human-centred design process provides a framework that empowers our clients and their customers. It gives them the opportunity to reimagine and reinvent modern life by creating products, services and experiences that they engage with emotionally as well as functionally. We believe that new products, services and experiences have to address people’s genuine needs and solve real problems in order to be truly meaningful.

The Modern Human team comes from diverse backgrounds in anthropology, psychology and behavioural sciences; architecture, product design, service design, interaction design and interior design; data science, technology and business management. We apply our diverse skills to create products, services, experiences and workplaces that make a real difference. Our studio is an environment in which anything is possible. Our 4 mode framework enables Modern Human designers to work more closely with our clients and their customers to invent a better future.
