Nightjar Studio design digital first global brands, products and services.
In the right hands, design and technology can be a force for positive change, and this conviction drives us forward. Nightjar was created by three friends with a desire to do things better. The process, the work, and the enjoyment of both. Bringing complementary strengths across strategy, creative, tech and delivery, we have a bond that lives beyond the studio and drives our vision. We are thinkers, makers and innovators driven by our passion for design and technology. Change, progress and experimentation is our only focus.

Leadership
Christine Sultana: Head of Operations
Excels at providing the frameworks to deliver products that drive our partner’s businesses forward.
Manages expectations and delivery of all Nightjar projects and ensures the smooth running of the ship. She moves fast (and breaks things), but always has time to listen, evaluate and improve.
Bonnie Mactavish: Head of Experience Strategy
Shines at simplifying (and articulating) problems and how they might be solved.
She brings strategic rigour and thinking to ReachOut, Optus, Destination NSW and EVENT Hospitality. Her grumpiest attribute is her griffon Graeme...Nightjar’s fourth founding member, and not-always-so-silent partner.
Ahmed Meer: Head of Design & Technology
A passionate advocate for emerging web technologies with a meticulous eye for detail.
Bringing magic and polish to everything he touches, from Sneaker Freaker to THE ICONIC to a website for a plum. Ahmed started his career with collaborative math and literature software, and continues to school us.
