CXRE was built around a simple idea: start at the core of a problem, then build outward using whatever disciplines the idea requires.
Based in Halifax, Canada, CXRE is an independent design and innovation studio working across brand, objects, environments and experimental technology.
We stay deliberately small at the centre and build project teams around the work.
Niyi is a multidisciplinary designer, artist and creative director with a background in sustainable design engineering. His practice moves between brand systems, objects, installations and experimental technology. At CXRE, he leads creative direction, design and the studio’s research practice.
Deborah is a strategy and operations leader with experience building partnerships, programs and systems that move ideas from ambition to execution. At CXRE, she supports studio strategy, operations, partnerships and long-term growth.
CXRE collaborates with independent designers, developers, fabricators, engineers, artists, technologists and production specialists according to what each project requires.
Niyi’s independent artwork and personal commissions remain part of his individual practice. CXRE is the collaborative studio, research environment and commercial design practice.
