Cafeteria started with one key ambition — to put people at the centre of our design process, because without fail working with people rather than working on projects makes for a happier experience and better outcome. Our clients will tell you that it works because they feel involved; that we’ve listened to and understood them and that the work we go on to make, is created together.
We are a tight, sharp, versatile team that delivers projects with empathy, drive, imagination and skill. Our work constantly pushes our creative boundaries — from diving deep into brand strategy and complex wayfinding challenges to conjuring up captivating exhibition spaces and elegant print and digital communications — keeping us on our toes and excited by what we might discover next. We wouldn’t have it any other way.
Our projects go through four stages of work – Discover, Define, Design and Deliver. It gives us our thread, and a way to seamlessly progress from the outset, towards a clear, considered and shared goal.
We listen (intently), understand (properly), respond (appropriately), and partner with clients as closely as possible. We join the dots and keep them joined, so the response never loses touch with where it came from.
