About
Your digital department.
We built D6 around a simple belief: the best digital work happens when strategy, creativity and technology work together from the very beginning.
01 · Our story
We built D6 because
Because we like working with people who…
- Are building something meaningful.
- Value good thinking.
- Want a partner rather than another supplier.
- Believe digital should keep improving long after launch.
We know we're not the right fit for everyone.
If you're looking for the cheapest quote or the quickest shortcut, we're probably not your people.

02 · How we think
What we've learnt
We say no.
Not every idea is the right one. We'd rather have an honest conversation than build something that doesn't move your business forward.
Design should create value.
Beautiful work gets attention. Useful work gets results. We aim for both.
One team. Start to finish.
The people who shape the thinking stay involved through delivery. No disappearing after discovery. No throwing work over the fence. No dev left behind.
What's designed is what ships.
We believe great ideas deserve equally great execution. That's why strategy, design and development stay connected throughout the process.
We invest alongside people we believe in.
We've taken equity in businesses we'd happily build for anyway. Because sometimes the best partnership goes beyond the brief.

What our clients say
“What stands out about Department Six is their founder mindset. From the start they've operated as part of the team building this brand, not an agency delivering against a brief. — genuinely invested in the brand, not just the deliverable. They have a rare ability to land exactly what you want with minimal direction, while still challenging you when it matters. Their ability to guide both creative strategy and execution has been invaluable, bringing fresh thinking and strong design delivery that consistently elevates our brand.”
CEO, Lumepay & Lumetrade
“Department Six has been a standout partner for us across multiple projects, excelling in brand strategy, UX/UI, and WebFlow development. They translate complex strategic thinking into clear, captivating creative work with extraordinary speed and care. Collaborating with their team is effortless, sharp, and genuinely brings every vision to life.”
Natalie de Waal, Head of Agency
“We came to D6 with a clear design challenge: create a website that feels intelligent, confident, and approachable without feeling overly corporate. From the initial concepts through to delivery and handover, D6 were thoughtful, collaborative, and genuinely open to our ideas. The process felt like a true partnership, and we’re incredibly proud of the refreshed RIO brand and the website they created for us.”
Siena Hickey, Head of Strategy & Operations
“A massive thank you for creating a personal website beyond anything I imagined. Your creativity, ambition, clarity of vision, agility made this such a rewarding process. I’ve loved working with you every step of the way. You’ve exceeded my expectations (and I don’t set those lightly). I’m so proud of what we’ve built together.”
Jenna Bestbier, Founder of reXlab
Tell us what's on your mind.
Launching something new? Rethinking an existing product? Looking for a long-term design partner? Whatever brought you here, we'd love to hear about it.
You've probably got a question or two.
Because the industry pattern — strategy from one firm, design from another, build from a third — kept producing gaps that clients paid for. We wanted one team that could take a problem from first principles all the way to production.
Strategy, creativity and technology sit in one team from day one, and they stay connected through delivery. The thinking never gets thrown over a fence, and the work keeps improving after launch.
Yes. We're a small, senior team — the people in the first meeting are the people doing the work.
No. We work with funded startups, SMEs and enterprise teams alike. What matters isn't your size — it's that you're building something meaningful and see digital as a competitive advantage.
Direct, honest and hands-on. Short lines, named people, visible progress — and honest conversations when we think something shouldn't be built.
Building our own products keeps us sharp — we feel the pressure of launching, validating and growing first-hand. It's also why we sometimes invest alongside the people we build for.
