Meet Clark Kent Koga – a Sydney-based, Filipino-Japanese brand strategist working at the meeting point of data, creativity and culture. After several years at Google, he founded department, an independent consultancy working with some of Australia’s most distinct fashion, design and lifestyle brands. 

In her Melbourne home, Samantha McIntyre’s practice sits quietly alongside everyday life – ceramics, objects and works in progress gathering around a desk overlooking Edinburgh Gardens. What began as a ceramics class has become both a creative practice and source of comfort to her.

Founded by Matt and James, the Melbourne-based creative practice works between design and technology, bringing new tools and emerging technologies into the creative process from the outset. The two met through a chance collaboration five years ago, connecting over an instinctive creative alignment that still shapes the practice today.
