Throughout my career I have found the best results and the greatest satisfaction in work produced was from projects produced through collaborative ventures. A project's very strength comes from people of differing backgrounds sharing a common goal. I cannot contemplate working on a project without working in this manner. Projects produced in this way are far better grounded and tend to have a far greater breadth of knowledge and understanding. Curiously the results are not those of compromise but of heightened intensity and vision.”

“The boundaries of professional fields such as architecture are artificial. By working with a varied range of expertise the demarcations of architecture, urban cultural heritage planning and exhibition design blur with new and interesting possibilities. Working with Totem allows for an inter-disciplinary methodology to develop that values process, meaning and content.”

“After more than twenty years of a somewhat diverse professional life, working for Totem Media feels like coming home. Not only does it accommodate and encompass most of my diverse interests, but it also provides an enormously exciting vehicle to take those further.”

“This is not what my peers experience as work. Having a meeting with Totem Media is like combining a really satisfying coffee shop conversation between friends with the breakthrough moment from an episode in an excellent forensic mystery series. There is the real excitement of uncovering something together. What is amazing to me is that without much coordination everybody brings something to the table – something they have had fun developing. Somehow all the bits fit seamlessly into a product. We enjoy each other as colleagues, we learn from each other and we surprise each other. If I say anything more our clients might insist we pay them for the extraordinary experience.”
