Strategy
We define place purpose and direction — shaping compelling narratives that turn places into movements.
From our studios in London and New York, we’re a team united by a love of places and culture.
DNCO is an international, employee-owned, female-founded agency based in London and New York.
We bring together strategists and designers united by a love of cities, culture and the human experience to create a studio dedicated to connecting people and places — from cultural institutions to neighbourhoods and cities.
Wayfinding
We design systems that guide people with ease and clarity, from single buildings to entire cities.
Content
We love bringing ideas to life — writing, producing and delivering content that moves people and makes places matter.
Brand
We build place identities that inspire trust, ignite recognition, and stand the test of time.
Digital
We design digital platforms that feel effortless — seamless tools to explore, engage, and belong.
Exhibitions
We turn physical spaces into emotional experiences, transforming spaces into stories people want to step into.
We’re employee-owned
DNCO is proudly 100% employee-owned — a structure that keeps us independent, protects our culture, and rewards the people who make it all happen. Everyone here has a stake in the business, which means we show up with care, commitment and creativity in everything we do. It’s better for us, better for our clients, and better for the future we’re building together.
Studios in London and New York
From London to New York, we work across continents and cultures. Our studios are rooted in two of the world’s most creative cities, and our outlook is global. Whether we’re branding a neighbourhood, a city, or a cultural district, we will get resident for deep local insight and bring with us our international perspective.
