“Glue” philosophy
glue. /glu:/
Noun: an adhesive substance used for sticking materials together (“waterproof glue”). Synonyms: adhesive, gum, cement.
Verb: fasten or join with or as if with glue (“The kit was falling apart so we glued it together”). Synonyms: stick; bond; connect.
We won’t lie that the name was partly inspired by the glue we used to fix our bikes. But the studio were mainly founded on the notion of collaboration. The founders were part of a design collective who produced this event – Zarina Holmes being a graphic designer and Salina Christmas being an anthropologist. What we – designers, writers, photographers and coders – cohered over then were creativity, craftsmanship and innovation. We still do that.
At GLUE Studio, we aim to create value and a positive experience that connect brands with their audience through inspiring contents and activities. Hence the word “glue”.
We also advocate active lifestyle and well-being at the workplace, a nod to our Polynesian roots. So ‘Aloha!’. Let’s collaborate.
