This series for Dwell is a look at the work behind the work; the moving, adjusting, testing and resetting that happens before a few seconds ever make it into the final cut.
Setting the scene. Shifting furniture. Chasing the right light. Moving something back, then forward again.

A lot of it is the kind of work most people will never see. But it’s where the care sits.

We wanted the final films to feel quiet, familiar and lived in. Getting there meant showing love to the parts others might walk past.

A little behind the scenes from the shoot, alongside where all that work ended up.

The Uncommon team just had their first ever offsite. We took five days off to reconnect and think about the future.

We had time to play, strategise but more importantly, to get to know each other a little bit better.

Here is a photo dump from the trip. No fancy cameras, just phones footage and great memories.

London for Festival next week ✈️

This year’s theme: is creativity dead or alive?

Looking forward to getting closer to the work, the thinking behind it, and spending time with the people shaping where it goes next.

If you’re there, let’s connect!

If you’re in Melbourne this week, come along.

Oli Founder of Uncommon, is speaking at the Insert Frame Meetup this Thursday, sharing insights on how we think about the work, the standards we hold, and why a sharp eye for the details others miss will always matter more than the tools we use.

A practical, real-world look at how ideas are shaped into something special.

We launched a website that isn’t finished.
No final font or final imagery. Not even the final logo (yes, shocking, we know)!

Normally, we’d never do this. We like things considered, refined, and done properly. But the client needed something they could present to investors now; not in a few months.

There’s something uncomfortable about treating the website less like a final outcome and more like a working tool. But the internet didn't implode, and the Easter bunny still came.
It also gave us the chance to stress test the brand we've been building on something tangible, not just mockups in presentation decks.

Big shoutout to the Uncommon team for leaning into it.

is not an event, place, product or service. It's a spirit, an energy, a belief, a choice, a community, a feeling.

We are proud and excited to be one of the founding members of this new movement.

Sometimes the brief takes a left turn and we’re here for it.

We’re often brought in to design a website or product, but the content that lives inside it matters just as much as the interface. For this project, that meant photographing the C-suite so the brand shows up properly across their digital channels.

We focus on the big picture, but we never miss the details that take the work to the next level. Some of them a little hairier than others 🦍👣

The site’s had a refresh ✨
A lot more Uncommon to explore.

The team has grown, the work has levelled up, and now it all has a place to live.
Go on, take a look 👀
