What we do
Applying human and cultural psychology to create more meaningful brand experiences
TapestryWorks uses simple, quick and intuitive approaches, based on our profound understanding of human behaviour. Our approaches map human emotions and motivations in minutes, allowing people to express implicit feelings in a direct, authentic and unfiltered way.








Capturing both universal and local truths
Our approaches are sensitive to cultural differences. Although standardised and automated, they can be customised for specific business challenges and local sensitivities.
We work closely with research, creative and media agencies to develop brand strategies, product and packaging identities, and customer experiences that match human needs and desires.







From consumer stories to brand experiences
All our work is grounded in behavioural science with expertise in semiotic analysis, cross-cultural research and sensory science.
Culture sense for brands.
