What is a strategic design firm?

We are BIOTOPE—a strategic design firm devoted to designing futures with purpose and conviction.

Beliefs
In an age of uncertainty, where the future often feels opaque and direction is hard to find,we partner with forward-looking organizations striving to act on their vision and purpose. This journey demands an ongoing evolution of identity.
Through the very process of shaping the future, organizations undergo internal transformation. Design—and the creation of new narratives—serve as external expressions of this change, giving it clarity, conviction, and form.
As organizations transform to generate value from a place of conviction, we draw on three core beliefs that shape how we engage and design.

01Co-creation starts with personal intention
To realize unprecedented initiatives, we begin not with the organization, but with the individual. By drawing out the inner drives and imaginative visions within each person, we uncover the spark of transformation. Only when one’s voice begins with “I”—not “the company”—can co-creation become meaningful and authentic.

02See systems as ecosystems—and find the levers for change
The challenges faced by organizations and society today emerge within complex systems, shaped by overlapping people, intentions, hierarchies, and values.
Through systemic design, we visualize the current state, identify leverage points, and direct our efforts toward areas that can unlock positive, regenerative cycles. We design co-creative projects with precision—where intervention matters most.

03Embed vision into society through strategy and design
We believe that for a client’s vision and intent to bring real change, it must be made visible, shareable, and tangible. From shaping vision maps, words, and narratives, to producing websites, videos, and booklets—or launching businesses that embody the vision itself—we choose the most fitting means for the moment. In doing so, we circulate a living story—implementing purpose into the fabric of society and organizations alike.
