Frontier Information

We design big stories. Big stories are brave, imaginative, and guiding. They help you stand out, discover new creative territory, and generate meaningful action. Frontier is a design office that believes in the expansive potential of storytelling to help people get somewhere new. We design the strategies, brand identities, and experiences that make big stories real. For a decade, people have come to us because we’re experts at drawing together diverse perspectives into something unified and resonant. Generating ideas, building consensus, setting direction: we accelerate this work by listening closely and bringing to bear new tools and methods of understanding and shaping what’s next. We draw from diverse realms—like contemporary art, purpose design, playful speculation, and radical technologies—to help organizations and their people understand the edges and make progress that matters. This pluralistic approach to purposeful branding leads to genuinely inspiring amd strategic stories that we turn into momentum-building brand identities, exhibitions, websites, campaigns, books, and videos. In addition to design services for partners, our commitment to big stories runs through studio-initiated projects. These include Frontier Magazine, an online publication about new and newly relevant ideas in the arts, technology, and the built environment; Projectory, an experiential learning platform that trains organizations on building future resilience; and Live Magazine, a traveling editorial project.
