Create change with clear design for social impact
Be seen and understood
We know that to succeed, social enterprises have to be self-sustaining.
Clear communication and design helps you be seen and understood by your customers.
Know your next moves
Getting stuck in details can prevent you from running smoothly and creating impact.
We work together to form a clear map of where you’re going, remove roadblocks, and set up your business’ digital needs.
Connect with your community
The power of being clear in your messaging is increased engagement with the right people: your community, customers and champions of your cause.
Strategically build your business for Good
We bring entrepreneurial and design thinking for social purpose businesses to give you a big boost forwards.
Build good business. Change your part of the world.
We’ll walk with you through a journey to help you know where your power lies in connecting to people and affecting change.

We help create sustainable change

We helped Queensland Social Enterprise Council (QSEC) launch their first website and directory in 2018, followed by their second website, directory and their online learning centre in 2020. QSEC experienced a 170% growth in web traffic immediately after we designed their new member and directory website. Their online learning centre and membership has continued to grow, and provides a space for knowledge leaders to contribute to social enterprises through free online courses.
We created a new brand look and feel based on the strengths of the previous; enabled and onboarded learners and course creators for the QSEC Online Learning Centre; and allowed for member interaction, promotion and support through the new QSEC website and membership portal. The work we did also enabled QSEC's operations to run more smoothly and with automations.

We established a new website and digital portal which transformed bespoke resources into critical learning points for the whole of the membership to utilise.

From 2017: We helped Wavelength craft their message and run their fundraising campaign, successfully raising funds to then create their online course on LGBTIQ medical education for medical students and professionals.
In 2022: Wavelength is now at release 3.0 - and under the care of the Australian Medical Students Association (AMSA) and AMSA Queer. Further work together has included video editing, developing more accessibility in the website and videos, and course refinement.
“Social Good Outpost was instrumental in getting Wavelength up and running. Without their support, this project would have easily fizzled out after the initial pilot program. Their professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile has meant medical students across Australia have been able to access Wavelength and learn about LGBTIQ health. The feedback we have received for their work has been fantastic. I could not recommend Social Good Outpost enough!”

We worked with WWILD in Brisbane to bring their new podcast all about supporting women with intellectual learning disabilities to life.
This involved creating branding, designing a publication, creating custom illustrations of all the experts (women with intellectual disabilities) involved in the project, the creation of the website, and posters for support centres.
This work has enabled WWILD to bring And You Think You're the Expert? to life in a colourful, friendly, accessible and informative way. It has the potential to allow women with intellectual learning disabilities to be supported the way they need and want by services.
Our values
Women designing for equality
We are a women-led team, often working with women-led organisations.
We use Feminist design principles of equality, inclusiveness, and accessibility, and take the time to understand situations from many points of view.
Research-backed design
Our aim is to create design and digital solutions that engage and are mindful of the people they are for.
We do this through research and conversations with people, and following best-practise standards.
We’re purpose-led too
Our Social Enterprise model helps under-represented groups with strategic mentoring for their design, communication and impact. Read more about our social impact.
Our work supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals of Quality Education and Gender Equality.
