Ancient Coral Kingdom

Standing in Geiranger and looking out over the water, it is easy to believe that all the grandeur is right there in front of you. But it turns out, the fjord has been keeping a
secret.

Every garden counts

Rootsum sells tiny allies. Ladybugs, nematodes and clever alternatives to garden poison.

Their mission is to get chemicals out of private gardens — because biodiversity loss also happens between the roses, under the hedge and next to the trampoline.

Duckhood, a short film about how the world we’re born into can feel completely normal, even when it quietly took a wrong turn generations ago. And about two ducklings following their parents into whatever comes next.

Let’s talk

Let’s have a conversation to see how we can work together as partners for positive impact.

Origin story

Once Upon A Time

We, Wouter & Twyla, fell in love at design school in Brussels, Belgium — and spent the next 15 years building two small humans and a branding agency together.

The Napkin

The famous napkin, with our next 'five year plan', pinned on the magnet board, alongside our weekly plans.

One cosy, misty evening, we doodled our next five-year plan on a napkin. Like most good ideas, it started vague, fragile and slightly unreasonable.

We felt a growing pull to use our skills for something more urgent: protecting the planet our small humans rely on. So we packed up, moved to Norway, and now work between the fjords, mountains and stories we want to protect.

More trees!

With our branding and design background, creative network and trusted partners, we help organisations shape, explain and bring planet-minded ideas into the world.

We help good ideas get off the napkin and into the world.

Good company
