DESIGN STAFF WHERE CREATIvity MEETS TECHNOLOGY
Design Staff provide world-class Design and IT outsourcing services to businesses across Australia. We connect exceptional talent with our clients' vision, cutting through the cost and pain of hiring locally to bring bold ideas to life.
We believe in the immense value of combining human creativity and design with cutting-edge technology. In web development and AI, mobile apps, e-learning, logistics, and architectural design, we bring together brilliant people to drive positive transformation for our clients.
With over 8 years of industry experience, we serve a diverse range of clients across Australia. Proudly Australian-owned and Melbourne-based, we also have a dedicated team operating from the Philippines, offering the perfect blend of local insight and global expertise.
The TRUE POWER OF OUTSOURCING
The cost disparity between local and offshore labor is significant, yet the difference in output, quality, intelligence, and impact is often negligible.
By leveraging highly skilled offshore talent at a fraction of the cost, businesses can maintain the high standards they expect without compromise. This offers immediate transactional benefits.
However, the true value lies in building sustainable talent management capabilities that allow business owners to pivot, experiment, adapt, scale, and innovate. It’s about freeing Australian business owners from the limitations of local constraints, empowering them to truly drive progress and achieve their goals.
