Desq | About Us | Bespoke Digital Learning

We’re a team of talented learning designers, strategists, creatives, producers and developers.

And we’re creative digital learning designers born and bred – not a design or media team with learning bolted on. Our story started when founder David Squire was working for the BBC at the forefront of digital learning. Today, the science of learning still lives at the heart of our work – it’s how we create learning that cuts-through and connects with people and their performance.

So our work in digital, hybrid and blended learning has been evolving alongside digital tech since 1998. Today, versatile and still independent, we choose the technology that will work best and deliver most, from tried and trusted tools to bespoke digital solutions.

Everything we do is defined by three guiding principles:

Human-centred

Our work is shaped around people’s real needs and wants, so we get to know your people, where and how they learn. We'll use learner interviews, user groups, or observations to understand how learning happens and how it fits with work. By defining what learning needs to change for people, we can work to learner-centred objectives.

Science-led

Our work is grounded in learning science and robust proven principles around everything from the power of play and storytelling, to blended learning and effective assessment. These principles are the difference between learning that works and teaching that fails.

Creatively driven

We take every opportunity to be creative and inventive, because engagement depends on it. We’ll always challenge what’s possible creatively from making effective use of film or animation, to using gamification to encourage active (and interactive) learning. Creativity drives us because it drives impact.
