Our Story

Two Decades in the Arts, Still Creating

Exposure Design started over 20 years ago, back when websites were built with images in table layouts and dial-up was the norm. Founded by a working actor and creative, we've always believed that technology should help the arts—not overshadow them. We're still a small team, but we've grown alongside our clients, bringing the latest digital tools to artists, venues, and organisations who want a partner that truly understands their world.

Our Values

These core principles guide everything we do, from the projects we take on to how we work with our clients and each other.

Arts at the Heart

We're artists and creatives ourselves, so we know what matters: connection, authenticity, and making a difference.

Practical Innovation

We love new tech, but only if it actually helps. We keep things simple, clear, and useful for real people.

Collaboration Over Hype

We work with you, not just for you. No jargon, no hard sell—just honest partnership.

Longevity & Care

We've been here for the long haul, and we're in it for the relationships, not just the projects.

Our diverse team of artists, technologists, and visionaries brings unique perspectives to every project.
