DREAM X DO

ART X SCIENCE

We are curious about everything. We are serious about being fun. We are here to make the small feel big and the big feel human. We are the bridge between brands and people. We are the guardians of good design. We are the balance between art & science. We are the team behind your new favorite brand. We are designers of call-to-action magic. We are visual storytellers. We are small enough to care, big enough to deliver. We are the team that focuses on your brand, not our Instagram. We are the team that turns businesses into brands. We are creative problem solvers. We are dreamers who deliver. We are the people behind the packaging you don't throw away. We are pros at grabbing attention. We are all impact, no fluff. We are builders of brands that people love (and envy). We are here to help your brand find its voice. We are not afraid to say no. We are building brands since 2015, long before AI wrote headlines. We are here because we love what we do. We are still learning, every single day. We are Dreamjar.

our story

Our Story Image

What started as a spark of creativity (and a lot of late nights) has grown into running two studios across time zones. We've stayed true to the creativity and collaboration that got us here, helping brands tell their stories across the globe - but our own story just happens to begin in a little apartment.

Curious? Dive in.

01 It All Started With a Dream

We started in an apartment in New Delhi, India, a reminder that creativity thrives in small spaces. That apartment wasn't just a place to work; it was where ideas were sparked, dreams were shared, and late nights turned into unforgettable moments.

From day one, Dreamjar was never just one person's dream, it was a collective effort of friends, supporters, and believers who helped shape something extraordinary.

02 The Early Days

While we were just starting off, winning clients and building business wasn't the sole priority, it was about building something meaningful. Along the way, we made bonds, friendships, and memories that shaped who we are today.

We worked hard, laughed harder, and turned a team into a family. New faces joined, some moved on, and every step, every project, became part of the Dreamjar story. Those were the moments that laid the foundation for everything to come.

03 Finding Our Groove

As we gained more experience, we found our rhythm and began to understand the nuances of the creative world. Initially, it was the small businesses that trusted us. Their passion and close involvement in the process fueled our creativity.

Over time, we started taking on projects for larger businesses, which brought a whole new challenge that demanded a different level of strategy and execution. This also led us to work on social campaigns and initiatives where design could impact lives on a much greater scale.

Despite the shift in scale, the core approach always remained the same: connecting with people.

04 Expanding Horizons

Our journey grew beyond borders when we set up an office in Adelaide, Australia. Adelaide brought fresh challenges & opportunities, where we had the pleasure of collaborating with unique small businesses that pushed us to think creatively.

Expanding across time zones also expanded our relationship with coffee.

Along the way, we made new friends and discovered that while we were helping them solve challenges, they were teaching us just as much.

Over time, we began working with larger organizations and brands, blending local insights with global ambitions. This phase wasn't only about growth, it was about learning from challenges, adapting to change, and setting the stage for the impactful work we continue to create today.

05 Growth & Recognition

As we matured, so did our understanding of what it takes to create meaningful impact. We leaned into our philosophy of balancing art and science, marrying creativity with strategic finesse. Each project became an opportunity to refine our craft, push boundaries, and grow together.

In 2018, we celebrated a major milestone: our first award. It wasn't just a trophy; it was a symbol of how far we had come and how much further we could go. Since then, it's been a streak of wins, recognition, and collaborations that continue to inspire us.

These milestones are more than accolades, they are reminders of the trust our clients place in us and the stories we get to tell through our work.

06 Stepping Into Tomorrow

A decade later, here we are, more experienced, more confident, still dreaming big, and finally learning how to leave on time (sometimes). We've found our groove, balancing wild ideas with strategic finesse and blending art with science.

Recently, we shifted our Adelaide office to Melbourne, embracing fresh opportunities while staying true to who we are.

This next chapter is about dreaming louder, working smarter, and staying curious.

With the wonder of a child, Siddharth is driven by curiosity and a deep affection for life, people, and the everyday moments. His worldview has been shaped by a restless range of influences. From music, cinema, sketching, theatre, writing, to sports, books, comics, gaming, long drives, and travel, his interests continue to expand and overlap. He's fascinated by how people think and feel, and the stories that emerge along the way. Siddharth lives for them, hearing, collecting, and telling them. Every conversation, journey, or passing observation adds to an ever-growing mental archive of lived experiences. This love for stories is what fuels his approach to design, allowing each business to be seen as a living narrative rather than a static identity.

He founded Dreamjar as a space where everyone's dreams mattered, not just his own. Being part of this space gives him a front-row seat to how differently each business thinks, operates, and learns. Seeing brands grow long after his role is complete is what keeps him coming back. Working with people, building brands, and shaping stories is simply how he moves through the world.

And as long as there are stories to be told and people to learn from, the journey continues.

The unwritten rules we've
finally written down.

Art x
Science

Madness meets method.

Our work is where creativity and strategy collide. It's not about choosing one; it's about knowing when to let imagination lead and when to bring in logic. Whether refining ideas or solving complex challenges, art and science work together to create meaningful outcomes.

Art x<br />Science

Curiously
Creative

Why not? What if? Let's try.

We ask the weird questions, chase the “what ifs,” and explore uncharted ideas with curiosity leading the way. It's how we keep things fresh and exciting.

Curiously<br />Creative

Research
First

Research is our rocket fuel.

Before we jump in, we dig deep. Whether it's understanding your story, researching your audience, or uncovering what's happening in the world, we leave no stone unturned. Because the best work comes from the best insights, no matter the project scope.

Research<br />First

Partners,
Not Clients

One team, one goal.

One team, one goal.We don't just work for you; we work with you. Every project is a collaboration, and every success is shared. We win, when you win. Together, we build something extraordinary.

Partners,<br />Not Clients

No Room for
Mediocrity

Cut through the noise

The world is already overflowing with stuff, good, bad, and forgettable. We're not here to add to the clutter. If it doesn't turn heads, spark a thought, or leave a mark, it doesn't make it past the drawing board. Because when mediocrity settles in, brilliance moves out, and we're all about making space for the extraordinary.

No Room for<br />Mediocrity

Brutal
Honesty

Say it like it is.

We're not here to sugarcoat or confuse. No frills, no false promises, and definitely no jargon. If we don't know something, we'll tell you, but we'll also roll up our sleeves to figure it out. Acknowledging the problem is how we find solutions that actually work. Honesty builds trust, and trust builds great work.

Brutal<br />Honesty

Nimble
by Design

Intentionally Small.

A small team means big focus. We want to be the ones actually doing the work and making things happen. Fluff belongs in stuffed toys, not your partner agency. Staying small means better service, deeper focus, and the biggest impact.

Nimble<br />by Design

A Dash
of Bonkers

A little wild, a lot impactful.

We believe the best ideas are rooted in a little madness, a thread that runs through everything we do. While we lay the groundwork with research and insights, it's the wild, unexpected twists that make our work stand out. We sprinkle a little crazy into everything we do. Research gets us halfway, the bonkers get us to the unforgettable.

Roots before
Wings

Dream big. Stay grounded.

We aim high, but we never forget where we started or the people who helped us get here. No matter how high we fly, we keep our feet firmly planted, metaphorically. Because what's a tree without its roots?.
