Who we are

Highly Present is a school of thought, shaping culture and hospitality through philosophy, practice, and purposeful design.

We exist at the intersection of design, strategy and transformation; helping people, brands and governments reimagine how they live, lead, and create community.

We design and curate intentional experiences across various mediums to meet the goals and needs of our clients & collaborators.

our values

We believe form begets function and that substance is style. Working with nature and what she provides; building creatively with longevity, sustainability and regenerative cycles in mind.
Our chosen mode of travel is one of harmony. We promote the lagom lifestyle; standing firm yet calm on our values, moving with Love at the center of all that we do.
We aim to support individuals and communities in becoming rooted in their natural strengths and becoming self-sustaining through taking aligned action.
