Sydney isn’t just about sun, surf, and the Harbour Bridge—it’s a powerhouse of creativity with a design scene that’s as dynamic as its skyline. From branding studios to indie designers, the city’s creatives thrive in a mash-up of high-end aesthetics and raw experimentation. With type-inspired murals in Newtown, exhibitions at the Powerhouse Museum, or the studios shaping Australia’s design future, Sydney knows how to mix business with bold ideas.
