The Best Design Awards shortlist is out. Two of our recent projects are in.
No big campaign. No confetti. Just strong, smart digital work recognised in good company.
Our Entries
Sorted.org.nz
New Zealanders have been turning to Sorted for over two decades. But expectations have changed. Financial stress is up. Attention spans are down. People need more than a website.
Together with Te Ara Ahunga Ora, we reimagined Sorted as a digital companion - something that feels human, speaks directly, and helps people take action.
We designed a new experience around real-life goals: paying off debt, growing savings, planning for retirement. Tools and guides are front and centre. The tone is clear and judgement-free. The look and feel is calm, warm, and modern.
Under the hood, we rebuilt the platform to be flexible, modular, and easy to manage. It adapts with user needs and supports new campaigns without extra weight.
Since launch, trust in the platform has grown. So has confidence. More users are staying longer, and using more of what matters.
The Gallagher Game
To mark 85 years of innovation, Gallagher wanted to show up differently. We helped build Golden Goals - a browser-based rugby game that turns real matches into a weekly challenge.
Two game modes. A clean interface. No app downloads. Just fans predicting real-time match outcomes, kicking conversions in 3D, and climbing live leaderboards.
It’s built for speed. Mobile-first. Three.js in the front. Silverstripe in the back. The admin side is just as sharp - easy to update, manage, and scale.
Fans log in, choose a team, and the entire experience updates around them. Personalised kits. Team banners. Real stakes. It’s rugby, made for the digital crowd.
Why We Enter
Because results matter. Because thoughtful work should be seen. Because building things that last still counts for something.
Different briefs, different outcomes. Same intent - to make digital clearer, smarter and more powerful than ever.
What’s Next
No predictions. Just a quiet thanks to the teams behind these builds, and to the clients who made space for something better.
This is the work that reminds us why we do what we do.
