Idea-driven design for purpose-driven organizations.

Q&A is a full-service design studio founded in 2015 by Helen Eady. Q&A works across a range of mediums to deliver transformative, strategic design rooted in the principles of collaboration and curiosity.

Values

Collaboration

Design doesn’t flourish in a silo. The best ideas are rooted in diversity and discussion. Collaboration is more than a key element of Q&A’s approach—it guides our interactions with the world at large.

Respect

Q&A is dedicated to delivering the highest standards of design to every client project. We treat our peers, our clients, our competitors with respect and dignity.

Do Good

Design can be a force for good in this world. We love to partner with organizations making a difference and aim to make as small a footprint as possible ourselves through exploring sustainable design.

Curiosity

Without curiosity, there would be no innovation. We ask a lot of questions.
We value the deep dive.
Our name is Q&A, after all.
