We create impactful change for a new, shared Australian identity through design excellence. As an Aboriginal-owned agency founded on Whadjuk traditions, PFT's multidisciplinary work comes from authentic engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, culture, art, stories and identity.

Approach

Activation

We create immersive activations that transform stories, culture, and identity into engaging public experiences. Through collaboration and creative expression, we design moments that connect people to place, community, and Country.

Our process is grounded in listening, collaboration, and cultural integrity. From concept through to delivery, we combine storytelling, design thinking, and artistic innovation to create meaningful and lasting outcomes.

Every project begins with a deep respect for Country, culture, and community. Through authentic engagement and shared knowledge, we create spaces and experiences that honour traditional stories within contemporary contexts.

Services

We develop public art, installations, and curatorial experiences that celebrate identity, culture, and storytelling. Our work brings together artists, communities, and spaces to create impactful cultural outcomes.

We provide culturally informed creative consultancy across design, engagement, placemaking, and strategy. Our multidisciplinary approach supports projects that seek authentic collaboration and meaningful community connection.

Our fashion collaborations explore identity, art, and storytelling through wearable design. By blending contemporary aesthetics with cultural narratives, we create pieces that celebrate creativity and self-expression.
