What we do

We empower visionary thinkers and institutions to make the radical a reality

Part of Journey, Squint/Opera contributes to a global team creating story-driven experiences across physical, digital, and immersive worlds.

For over 20 years, the studio has built a reputation for combining storytelling, design, and technology to communicate complex ideas with clarity and impact – helping clients win competitions, build public support, attract investment, and create destinations people want to visit.

Today, this expertise sits within Journey’s integrated offer – spanning strategy, story, design, technology, and delivery – enabling work at a greater scale and ambition than we ever thought possible.

Together, we’ve delivered transformative change for global destinations, empowering institutions and asset owners worldwide to increase footfall and deepen audience engagement. Our work lives in the cultural fabric of cities, creating the spaces and places of tomorrow.

Who We Work With

Our work helps build public support, increase footfall, raise investment, and shape destinations at scale.
