More Human

SEE OUR WORK

Making cities more human. Since 2012.
We are a creative studio, run by Robin Cox, bringing citizens together through creativity, storytelling, and shared experiences. To create cities that are connected and more livable for all.

  • HUMAN STORIES

    HUMAN STORIES

    What we love doing most, producing city stories and laying out impactful narratives through photography, film, and experiences.

  • Two people sitting on a wooden bench, having a conversation; one person is holding a microphone. The setting has green plants and a sign in the background that reads 'Good Place' and 'A City Made By People'.

    REAL CONNECTIONS

    We have more than a decade of experience in bringing together citizens, through conversations, events, programs and exhibitions.

  • A man and a woman sitting together on a bench and looking at a beach scene with people, umbrellas, and the ocean in the background.
