Innovation is at the foundation of our practice. We know that best practices in design evolve over time, consequently we strive to be on the leading edge of design innovation, exploring new ideas and improving on those ideas, project after project. By using research evidence in our design considerations, we can empirically predict the impact of our solutions on the environments we create. Beyond employing the research of others, we are active participants in original research. We are continually looking to investigate research questions which could have an impact on the interior environment. Over the course of our careers, we have been engaged in original research in the areas of Geriatric Facility Design, Rehabilitation Design Principles, Design for the Dementia Population, and Workplace Design practices. Research excites our inquisitive minds, allows us to prove our design hypothesis, and contributes to the global body of knowledge in the design field.

Move Management is the process of transitioning organizations to their desired future state. At RIDI we deliver a structured and systematic approach for ensuring that changes are implemented with care and attention, so that their benefit is seen on day 1 and 1001.

We uncover and shape your next big idea using research, listening, and close collaboration to translate business objectives into strong visual concepts. This conceptual groundwork defines the graphic language, messaging frameworks, and design directions that support consistent, recognizable communications across all touchpoints.

We know that the daily demands of running a business can leave marketing tasks piling up. We act as an extension of your team, rolling out digital and print collateral across campaigns and channels while coordinating assets, timelines, and vendors. From everyday to-do items to seasonal initiatives, we create and manage branded materials for both screen and paper, including social graphics, email templates, brochures, posters, menus, holiday cards, and more, so your marketing remains consistent, timely, and effective.

Effective communication requires visual clarity and precision. We translate complex messages into clear, visually structured layouts that make information easy to scan, understand, and act on. Through thoughtful typography, imagery, and hierarchy, we transform data and ideas into compelling infographics, reports, PowerPoint presentations, digital screens, and other communication tools that reflect your brand and support confident decision-making.

A digital presence is essential for building credibility, increasing visibility, and engaging your audience. We collaborate with clients and web developers to create, manage, or provide direction for key deliverables like digital screens, website visuals, app assets, social media assets, and digital campaigns. By ensuring consistency across all platforms, we can help you communicate effectively in the digital landscape.

Whether you are creating a brand from scratch or refining an established one, we ensure your identity is cohesive across all touchpoints. We craft visual and verbal identities that align with your business goals and values, from logo design and colour palettes to typography and brand voice. By connecting strategy, content, and form, we ensure your brand is clearly expressed across built environments, print collateral, and digital platforms, building recognition and long-term trust.

Packaging and retail environments are powerful extensions of your brand, offering tangible opportunities to connect with your audience. We design packaging and in-store communication that is visually striking, functional, and aligned with your brand identity, ensuring products are protected, showcased, and stand out in competitive retail settings. From labels and boxes to menus, point-of-sale displays, product-launch graphics, and in-store signage, we create cohesive, branded touchpoints that enhance the customer experience, drive engagement, and support sales.

Physical materials like brochures, stationery, posters, and direct mail remain critical to brand communication. We design these tactile pieces to align with your brand, delivering a seamless experience that reinforces your identity at every touchpoint. Consistency across print collateral builds trust, increases brand recognition, and enhances user engagement.

Every compelling image begins with thoughtful planning and expert guidance. We plan and direct photography that powerfully supports your brand story and campaign goals, from initial concept and shot lists to on-set direction and post-production. By sourcing the right photographer, aligning visual style, and managing the details, we ensure every image feels intentional, on-brand, and ready for use across print, digital, and environmental applications.

Great design starts with great content. Whether it is developing messaging for campaigns, organizing complex information, or fleshing out business ideas, our team ensures that the synergy between content and design tells a cohesive story that resonates with your audience.

Strategically crafted wayfinding systems do more than guide, they transform spaces into experiences. We design signage, environmental graphics, and spatial cues that guide people intuitively through spaces while reinforcing brand. Integrated early in the design process, these systems enhance functionality, improve accessibility, and transform interiors and sites into memorable, coherent experiences rather than afterthoughts.
