About Monika
Driving the concept: Monika Swindells, a nonconformist whose creative output transcends conventional boundaries.
As a creative director, designer, and artist, with a background in architectural design - Monika has rallied a collaborative nexus where artists and creatives from diverse sectors come together to produce imaginatively expressive, meaningful, and boldly innovative work.
Monika’s approach often feels assembled rather than traditionally designed and embraces craftsmanship and storytelling. Her ongoing commitment to sustainability shapes agile spaces that adapt to the needs of their users.
Blurring genre boundaries, Monika infuses each project with its own story— an intricate, custom-tailored approach that reveals unexpected delights. Monika’s all-encompassing influence shapes everything from the spaces we unravel and the clothes we wear to the human connections that the *ōH inspires.
Conversation ignites possibility.
We listen, question, and explore—uncovering your goals and the nuances that make your vision unique. A curious dialogue ensures we bring the right energy, the right talent, and the right variables to amplify your goals.
Strategy: designing the unexpected.
Once we understand the brief, we craft a strategic outline—mapping key objectives, timelines, and collaborators.
This is where structure meets serendipity, where planning allows space for the unpredictable, and where the first sparks of something extraordinary begin to form.
The variable at play.
Every project is a collision of disciplines, a fusion of unexpected elements.
We curate from a vast talent pool—designers, artists, illustrators, fashion creatives, photographers, dancers, chefs, musicians— each handpicked to co-create.
Working across typologies, often in counterintuitive and unorthodox ways, we craft bold, layered outcomes in interior design, art, fashion, and creative direction.
Whether shaping a brand, curating a visual story, facilitating a workshop, or producing a public event, we thrive in the space where creativity bends the rules.
