CULTURE THAT

champions good

Yugen is a strategy-driven brand and product design agency committed to using the power of design to create lasting change for the betterment of People and Planet. Founded in 2021 on a set of mutual ideals and a goal to champion those ideals wholeheartedly, Yugen finds beauty in the yet-to-be-seen.

Manifesto

People and Planet are f*cked if we don’t course-correct, and fast.

The world needs new ways of doing, of acting, and of being, so humanity can become truly sustainable.

We’re resolved in our desire to put our skills to work in a way that aligns with our values and beliefs and also meets the needs of the world. By doing so, we can help accelerate mass adoption and influence the behaviour revolution the planet calls for.

The work we do through Yugen is the work we’ve identified as necessary. It’s what we enjoy to do. And we’re pretty bloody brilliant at it. It’s our Ikigai; our reason for being.

We seek purpose. We want to be happy. We want to have healthy minds. And we want to hand back a thriving planet on which future generations can do the same.

Our mission is to function as a lighthouse for others on this journey, lighting the path for them as they move swiftly along it. And we go above and beyond because there is no greater business than the one we’re in:

The Business of People and Planet.
