Bureau forVisual Affairs

We are an award winning team of strategists, hand-picked designers, and innovative technologists working out of our studio in Bankside, London.

Driven by precise strategy and positioning, the team unites deep experience across all touch-points of brand and technology,; we deliver strategy, visual- and experience design and enterprise level technology for web-platforms and applications.

We believe in open-stance collaboration, not only with our clients themselves, but also with their respective specialists. Our processes are therefore designed to engage both internal and external stakeholders, rendering more considered outcomes.

With our clients based in different locations and active in different sectors, we view the different expertises and perspectives as an opportunity for a more lateral approach — producing a more clearly differentiated (read: memorable) outcome.

In our sector, we are amongst a few companies uniting a dedicated understanding of brand with a native perspective on technology. This drives both a better exchange with client-side brand teams, as well as the ability to deliver truly end-to-end.

Our practice aggregates works-treams laterally, producing cross-departmental thought — focussed around a deep empathy for the user (our true clients).

We ensure quality and performance throughout a project’s lifecycle by using an iterative process that focuses on top-tier components, powerful APIs, clear documentation, and robust testing protocols.

We prioritise sustainable production practices. Our preferred hosting solution will be 100% powered by renewable energy by 2025. We utilise modern file formats, compression techniques, and custom front-end designs to minimise webpage size while making energy-efficient design choices.

Accessibility is central to our process. By avoiding assumptions about user interactions and conducting thorough testing, we broaden our reach and optimise for diverse scenarios.

We prioritise security in all our projects – for instance through encryption, granular access control, and minimised dependencies – ensuring a robust defence for business-critical systems.
