Design Collective

10

Design is a global collective of expert practices operating across architecture, urbanism and design, brought together within the Egis Group. Each practice retains its own identity, culture and market presence, while benefiting from shared platforms, intelligence and collective scale.

Individually, our practices deliver people-focused, creative and responsible design. Together, as 10N, we multiply that impact. By connecting expertise across regions and disciplines, we are better positioned to address the defining challenges of our time, including climate change, rapid urbanisation and the responsible use of resources. The 10

Design model is founded on enablement rather than centralisation. Shared services and leadership roles exist to strengthen practices, support collaboration and unlock value across the Collective, while respecting local autonomy and brand equity.

The Head of Digital Design is a senior global leadership role responsible for shaping how digital design capability is developed, shared and applied across the 10N Collective. The role exists to ensure that digital tools, platforms, skills and workflows support design quality, delivery certainty and business performance, while enabling innovation and collaboration across practice brands, studios and regions. Rather than acting as a central production function, the Head of Digital Design operates as a strategic connector and multiplier, establishing common standards and platforms where they add value, and empowering local teams to excel within their own contexts.
