Nick Leigh joins Anthologie as Impact Partner expanding strategic and experience capabilities

As part of Anthologie Perth’s mission to help organisations and brands lead with impact, seasoned design and strategy leader Nick Leigh has joined the team as Impact Partner, strengthening its growing Strategy and Customer Experience (CX) practice. Anthologie, a certified B Corp creative impact consultancy, was also named Campaign Brief Digital Agency of the Year in 2024 at the annual Campaign Brief Perth Awards.

With over three decades of experience spanning design, systems thinking, and organisational transformation, Leigh joins Experience Design Leads Pascal Bompard and Hannah Carpenter to expand Anthologie’s capacity to help organisations.

Leigh was previously Principal Designer and Perth studio lead at Meld Studios, where he led work across sectors for clients such as Toyota, CBA Group, Transport for NSW, NSW Government, and Horizon Power.

“When we talk about leading with impact at Anthologie, it’s not just about better products or processes – it’s about helping organisations become vehicles for real change,” said Amy Sutton, CEO of Anthologie. “We help you bring together customer experiences, campaign and internal engagements and digital ecosystems into something that makes an impact and serves your communities. It’s a unique perspective that has been turning traditional ‘clients’ into long-term partners for impact.”

Together, Anthologie’s growing senior Experience team brings deep expertise in organisational strategy, service design, and human-centred product development – helping organisations tackle complexity and deliver long-term impact.

“We’re seeing our clients face complexity at a pace we’ve never encountered before – shifting funding or commercial landscapes, rising community expectations, complex behaviour change, digital disruption, and policy change all at once,” said Sutton. “To meet this moment, organisations need a joined-up view – across purpose, people, experience, platforms, systems, and ultimately, impact. That’s what Anthologie and our partners build, together.”

Bompard and Carpenter have led transformational digital work for Government and community impact, including:
● Find My Way – WA Government, a co-designed portal helping people experiencing homelessness access support and services.
● Live Up – Independent Living Association, a national platform enabling Australians over 55 to age well and maintain their independence.

While Leigh has already hit the ground running with Anthologie, adding value to two new client engagements:
● Co-designing a new service model with Chorus, empowering local care teams.
● Leading Transplant Australia’s strategic repositioning, from a sports-focused charity to a holistic health and wellbeing organisation.

Embedding strategy and service design in projects across health, aged care, social services, and research.

“It’s inspiring to join a team already delivering meaningful, collaborative change,” said Leigh. “Our work means surfacing opportunities through deep collaboration and trust, shaping opportunities together with the communities impacted, and ensuring organisational intent is mutually beneficial and sustainable. This doesn’t happen nearly as often as it should, but it happens every day at Anthologie.”

“Nick brings new strategic thinking and a deep commitment to co-design,” added Carpenter. “His leadership helps us go further – transforming not just services, but how organisations relate and respond to the people and communities they serve.”
