Interactive 
Digital  Design

Digital experiences designed to be felt, not just used
Interactive Digital Design at studio858 sits at the intersection of technology, art, and human behaviour. We design interactive digital experiences that invite participation, spark curiosity, and create meaningful engagement between people and systems.

Our work goes beyond screens for the sake of screens. We focus on how interaction feels. How it responds. How it rewards curiosity. Whether purely digital or connected to physical space, our interactive work is designed to be intuitive, playful, and emotionally resonant.


we build digital experiences
that people want to explore,
not rush through.







what we mean by
interactive digital design


This can include:

  • Interactive websites and digital platforms

  • Creative technology experiences

  • Digital installations and interfaces

  • Real-time and generative visuals

  • Interactive storytelling

  • Digital-physical hybrid systems

every interaction is
designed intentionally,
with the user experience
guiding the technology

rather than the
other way around.

Every project starts with a core question:

what should someone feel when 
they step into this space?

from there, we design backwards.

our approach

1. Experience-first thinking

We start by defining what the interaction should feel like. Is it playful, meditative, confrontational, exploratory, or informative? The emotional goal shapes the technical solution.

2. Interaction and system design

We design how users engage with the system. This includes user journeys, interaction logic, responsiveness, and feedback loops.

3. Creative technology development

We build or collaborate on the technical layer using the right tools for the project. This can include web technologies, real-time engines, sensors, data systems, or custom software.

4. Testing and refinement

Interactivity only works when it feels smooth. We test, refine, and optimise interactions so they feel natural and robust in real-world conditions.


where interactive digital design lives


Our interactive digital work can exist across many contexts, including:


  • Brand experiences and campaigns

  • Installations and exhibitions

  • Websites and digital platforms

  • Events and live environments

  • Cultural and educational projects

  • Retail and hospitality spaces

  • Public-facing digital experiences

we often design systems
that evolve over time
rather than static,
one-off outputs.

frequently asked questions





Do you build websites as part of this service?

Yes. We design and develop interactive websites and platforms where interactivity plays a meaningful role in the experience.

Can interactive digital design be part of an installation?

Absolutely. Many of our projects blend digital systems with physical space, sound, light, or movement.

Do you handle the technical development?

Yes, either directly or in collaboration with specialist partners, depending on project scale and complexity.

Is this suitable for non-technical audiences?

Yes. Our focus is always on accessibility and intuitive interaction, regardless of the technology behind it.

Can these experiences be data-driven or generative?

Yes. We regularly work with real-time data, generative systems, and evolving digital outputs.
