Opening hearts & minds through creative outcomes and experiences.

We are a branding and creative design agency committed to helping organisations build honest relationships with their audiences.

Our role is to open hearts and minds through meaningful creative outcomes and experiences. By breaking down everyday communication barriers, we create space for new opportunities, conversations, and ideas to flourish.

From brand identities to campaigns, we work closely with our clients to design with clarity, intelligence, and purpose. Beyond launch, we continue to support their growth by delivering the tools and materials that strengthen their brand over time.

Our experience spans Government, Private, Not-for-Profit, and institutional sectors, including schools, airports, hospitals, and local communities. No matter the brief, we communicate for people first: with openness, honesty, transparency, and approachability.

Based in Sydney, with clients across Australia including Melbourne, Queensland and the ACT Handle has received international recognition for its work. At every stage, we deliver clear engagement, straightforward communication, and considered design execution.
