Flexibility is key in today’s fast-paced design environment. We have a curated network of highly talented contract and freelance designers available if your project requires extra support, or a more specific skill set.

Over the years I’ve built an incredible network of designers and innovators.
I feel privileged to have played a part in shaping their career paths, whether that’s by connecting them with an exceptional start-up, or placing them in an established design team at a leading enterprise.
I launched Opa to support, connect and celebrate the thriving design community. One year in and I’m loving every minute of it.
