Useful Fictions

Useful Fictions offers a range of design and communications services, primarily for development organisations and charities. We believe even the smallest group should be able to get their voice heard effectively, and use our practical management experience to do so with impact. We’re called Useful Fictions because first, they help the world go round and get things done. Second, it was the name of an artwork by an influential but relatively unknown American Artist in the 1950s who had a great outlook on life. His name’s Allan Kaprow, in case you’d like to look him up. We’d like to think that by working with like-minded individuals and organisations, who share similar beliefs and values, that we really can understand the purpose of a given communications project, not just agree on what it should look like or do. We’ve also worked in management roles for various NGOs, charities, and community organisations, so know what makes them tick, and the gymnastics of time, money, and everything else required on a daily basis.
