We’re still here!
But we’ve been taking an extended break from posting on Instagram.
Historically, we’ve used this space to share our work and talk about issues that are important to our practice but we’ve also continuously questioned the values and ethics of various social media platforms and whether the benefit of posting on them outweighs any potential negatives.
For now we’re opting out. If you’re keen to keep an eye on our work check out our website, which we update with new projects as and when we’re able to share them 🙂

Designing transformational approaches to transformational Adaptation in the Bellarine.
—
The Bellarine Peninsula is poised to experience the impacts of climate change, which will bring about significant transformations in its landscape. We were engaged for our ability to design and facilitate meaningful stakeholder engagement and then analyse this for strategic outcomes. The exploration of how to create conditions that enable transformational adaptation for a resilient future is a significant opportunity many governments will take on over the coming years.
—
A critical part of this project is helping people engage with the trade-off’s between different values, the environment, the needs of future generations and people today. As specialists in critical engagement design and systems thinking, we have facilitated a means for stakeholders to see the big picture and understand how varied factors interact to create vulnerabilities and opportunities for adaptation. We contributed a variety of systemic mapping tools and structures to present information, to make relationships and interdependencies visible.

We're generally pretty quiet over here on Facebook with more activity happening via our Instagram account and website.
We've been busy with a whole host of projects but none are as close to our heart as Heart & Lava.
Together with our friend, now business partner, Sarah Callaham Margetts we have used all of the skills we’re known for at Relative Creative and put them to use by designing our own outdoor adventure and retreat company. Together we have designed the brand identity, product offerings, website and the structure of the adventures and retreats. We’re offering both regularly scheduled retreats for the general public alongside custom designed corporate retreats (and parties/hens/bucks celebrations).
We’re pretty stoked on the outcome and invite you to follow along on this exciting journey. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092331826355
