Founded in 2011, HMAS Grumpy is piloted by Founder James Boyce, with an exceptionally talented leadership team and crew at his side. We create Astonishingly Unforgettable Experiences, that have the potential to change lives, communities and organisations for the better. Grumpy combines original creative formats with emotional storycraft, to produce adventurous and ambitious experiences that evoke an intense response and imprint like a tattoo on your subconscious. We collaborate with cultural institutions, architects, businesses and brands that are looking to enhance lives and do some good in the world. Emerging as a born-digital creative studio, Grumpy Sailor served as both an in-house and external R&D arm for Google’s Creative Lab in Sydney. Since then, we have evolved into Australia’s leading experience design studio, creating installations, experiences, exhibitions and interactive artworks. Grumps is a band of misfits; each team member has taken their own weird and wonderful road to land at our doorstep, and that’s one of our greatest strengths. Our ability to create, code, build, film, paint and make, means our team adapts to any media and any challenge - and challenges are how this special breed of talent gets off. Curiosity, craft and tenacity are the hiring criteria for Grumpy Sailor. When creative minds like this learn to play in teams, the impossible becomes probable. Grumpy Sailor values a thriving arts and cultural ecosystem, accessible to all; gender equity and cultural diversity in technology and design; environmental sustainability and addressing climate change; and health and wellbeing in our community. We strive to make the world that little bit better through the work we create.
