Yellow Window has been part of the evolution of design for more than five decades. Our roots are in product, mobility and service design.
Today, we bring that legacy together with policy design, research, co-creation, inclusion and social innovation. The result is a team able to move between the physical and the systemic, the detailed and the strategic, the creative and the implementable.
Multi-disciplinary by design
We are product designers, modellers, visualisers, makers, researchers, mobility experts, gender experts and more. Our diverse expertises help us approach problems from different angles. We're a dynamic team with everything at hand to succeed.
United by our values
We care about people and we're striving for a better, more equal, world. We don't think something is worth doing unless it's done well. So whatever we work on, we put all our care and effort into it. We know that our choices matter and we're proud that our work will impact generations to come.
Always ready for a challenge
We are curious people always on the lookout for new inspiration. We like to explore, expand our skills, and see where else our ideas could take us. Whatever you throw at us, we will find a way to tackle it. We understand goals beyond metrics and we can move lightning fast to achieve them.
