Welcome to Village Co.

A collaborative consultancy dedicated to helping organisations unlock the power of design and collaboration.

I specialise in helping for-purpose organisations, as well as commercial businesses looking to innovate responsibly. My unique approach prioritises forming deep relationships with communities and clients, so we create lasting impact together.

Village Co. was founded by Callan Rowe, an experienced facilitator, strategic designer and innovation specialist, based in Naarm/Melbourne.

I have a deep experience leading co-design and innovation projects in healthcare, aged care, community services, education, youth services, violence prevention, professional services and Government. Village Co. was born out of the desire to work more relationally and build capacity and capability within organisations.

I bring together independent designers, facilitators, strategic, project managers and subject matter experts to best serve your organisation's needs. Drawing on my network of talented practitioners we can build a team that meets your unique needs.

I have a sliding scale of support to meet your budget, from capability building and project advisory to hands-on design and innovation support, all with a focus on co-design and collaboration. I’ll teach you how to fish, ensuring you have the skills and confidence to continue making an impact long after our work together concludes.
