Assembling bespoke multidisciplinary teams to deliver citizen-focused design of program delivery, policy, services, and technology.
Local Peoples is a studio and community of research, design and transformation experts, dedicated to solving complex citizen-centric and environmental challenges.
Our key focus is to help government departments to confirm that the policy intention of products and services continues to solve the right problems and serve users as originally intended (or even better). A big part of our expertise is also to help government agencies avoid unintended consequences along the way.
We deliver rapid outcomes and build continuing value by co-designing, testing and iterating on policy, services and products to build a positive future for all Australians.
We’re proud to publish Matters Journal, a weekly digital and biannual print publication telling interconnected stories from the worlds of arts, design, technology, health, food and the environment.

Purpose
Why we do it
We believe what we design should be a step toward the future that we want to inhabit: a more social, sustainable, informed, inspiring, cohesive, considered, equitable and empathic world.
That’s why our projects are judged on how they create beneficial social, environmental and economic outcomes for our clients.
Process
How we do it
At the heart of creating meaningful design is consideration and empathy. In following a human-centred design process, we put the end user’s needs and desires at the heart of all of the brands, services and experiences we create.
We have a proven track record delivering complex design, research and strategy projects with some of the world’s biggest organisations.
