A creative studio.



Rain Room is a multidisciplinary design studio creating social change through strategic arts and design projects.






Work 

We work with Governments and organisations to create communication campaigns, events, and programs that ignite new stories and community building. We do this through:

strategic planning,
creative direction,
curation,
placemaking
copywriting,
graphic design,
multidisciplinary arts,
program planning and facilitation. 





People 

We are a group of strategists, change makers, facilitators, artists, and designers.

Depending on the project, we call on the relevant skills of our studio brain.

Cloud for thought.




Rain room is also a think tank, conjuring up new ways of looking at the world. We believe that true transformative change and socially just pathways, go beyond metrics and look to other knowledge embedded within lived experience, cultural memories and the arts.
