    We help innovative brands create beautiful things

Welcome

We are a trusted design partner working within the ‘inner circle’ of some of the world’s leading consumer innovation businesses.

For two decades, product brands have asked us:

” What should we do next?, How do we pivot to stay ahead?, How do we use design to tell our story?, What’s right for our progress and the planet? ”

Working with Rodd will arm you with powerful consumer insights, define your product strategy and result in beautifully executed design work. Whether it’s advanced design study or go-to-market product delivery our work goes beyond creative.

If you have a similar questions we would love to talk.
