BIGsmall beginnings
The origins of the BIGsmall brand lay within Ulster University. As colleagues, founders Prof. Justin Magee & Stephen McGilloway, created the title in 2006 to help differentiate their services to industry whilst lecturing together in product design.
In 2012, Stephen left the Higher Education sector to incorporate BIGsmall as a standalone studio, and with the kind permission of his colleague, continued the use of the identity. They maintain their working relationship to the present day.
About us
To move from the notional to the physical, we start by asking better questions. The sort of questions most people never think to ask.
Like, ‘How do blind people vote with complete and rightful confidentiality?’ Those questions start the ball rolling and the brain ticking.
The answers to those questions quickly become new business opportunities and, in time, those projects help to make the lives of end-users that bit easier and more enjoyable.
We enjoy a creative role in shaping those futures.
