Disco is the studio moniker of Australian Multidisciplinary designer Phill Ellis.

Phill leverages over 15 years of branding, graphic design and digital design experience to deliver world-class visual communication, using Disco as a vehicle to flex between freelance, in-house and project roles.

Async is A-ok

We’ve been working remotely with companies in the USA, UK and Eastern States of Australia since Disco's inception in 2018. We're comfortable with asynchronous work cycles, and maintain a fluid schedule to accommodate communication and collaboration across timezones.

From a small office in Perth, Western Australia, we collaborate with specialist creatives locally and abroad to craft brands, websites and digital products.

Our nimble outfit can partner remotely with businesses, creative agencies, and development teams of all shapes and sizes to add value at day one or one hundred.

“As our business has grown and we’ve brought some functional design roles internal, Disco have always remained flexible, acting at times as trusted advisors and mentoring our new in-house teams whilst still delivering turn-key projects. With a global presence, and access to world-class agencies in London, San Francisco and beyond, we’ve never had any reason to look further than Disco in support of our identity and digital eco system needs. Disco truly is, world class”.

Why Disco?

Lean and accountable

Our collective model means you work directly with the people creating the solution. No middlemen, no second-hand information, no confusion. We scale up from one (or don't) based on the specifics of a project, engaging specialist collaborators only as needed. This means less overheads, transparent pricing and more accountability over outcomes.

Holistic approach

Extensive experience across a variety of industries and roles means we're comfortable workshopping with executives, forecasting with management, and delivering with design and development teams. We interrogate projects from strategic and tactical view points, identifying the right opportunities to add value.

Real world, right now

We work remotely with teams all over the world, gaining awareness of diverse markets, technologies and practices. We leverage this experience (respecting IP) to create progressive, premium design solutions with very real world application. We start each project with open minds and deep discovery, to find the most efficient path to success.
