TELLING STORIES WITH OUR CRAFT
We are a brand and learning experience design agency, where we design brand experiences, and craft creative learning environments. We specialise in creating experiences. With a creative team comprising of graphic, environmental and sensorial design expertise, we craft dreams and mould fantasies into realities.
And for over a decade, we have been quietly transforming voids into spaces that breathes stories.
We call them Brand Experiences, and now, we are curating greater spaces, and telling more stories through our craft.

Whitewords started modestly in the study rooms of the founders. With modest ambitions and a firm focus on doing what we are good at doing - editorial design. With a combination of different skill sets, ideas and disciplines, we started to grow and soon, a bigger space is needed.
We moved into our first studio in South Bridge Road along with 3 work desks, 1 meeting table and 1 fax machine, the rest were bits and pieces we brought from our homes along with a whole lot of passion.
Our clientele grew and our portfolio started to diversify. It is interesting to note that in many ways, we did not fit the bill of a regular design agency. We didn't court publicity, we didn't socialise with other designers (mainly because we didn't know many), and we never quite participate in award schemes. Instead, we built the business quietly and tried to have as much fun as possible.
Who We Are
Who We Are
Another factor that defined us then – as now – was the friendly nature in the way business was being conducted. Whitewords has never been egotistical and it is this charm that attracted partners who prefer to be part of a team.
