Company
Our Profile
Whitespace is a design consultancy that provides creative direction, branding and interactive services. Based in Hong Kong, the studio has developed identities, print and websites for brands in retail & fashion, arts & culture, hospitality & lifestyle industries.
Known as a technique that describes free space between elements, ‘white space’ symbolically represents an area that is visually striking without unnecessary complexity. This principle is a constant in Whitespace’s practice, and translates into work that is both rigorous in approach and resonant in meaning. Recognized for a modern sensibility combined with strong ideas, Whitespace was founded in 2005.
People
Our Team
We’re culturally savvy individuals, designers & thinkers, passionate planners, proud developers & attention seekers. We speak the local language with international experience and backgrounds in strategy and project management, creative direction and design, and website programming and development. We’re big believers in good design & good vibes, and we like to make things happen. As a tight-knit team of 10, we also work with a wide network of consultants and partners both locally and overseas, and we’re used to juggling timezones and temperaments.
