Our Story

“It’s not about having more, it is about having better.” – James Neumann

This
playground
amid
the
harsh
sunshine
of
the
coast
and
the
rugged
landscape
of
the
bush
inspired
a
life
of
adventure
and
curiosity.
A
deep
connection
to
nature,
and
a
sense
of
freedom,
optimism
and
creativity.
It’s all rooted in a life spent growing up and living along the astonishing beauty and juxtaposition of Australia’s Queensland Coast. For James Neumann, it is a love for both the uncomplicated, fluid nature of the sea and its beaches, and the wild, unpredictable adventure of the interior wilderness. Paradise, crossed with some of the most challenging conditions in the world.

The belief that you should surround yourself in nature, in the way you want to live. A life shaped and informed by Australia, inspired by the land around him. That it is not about having more, it is about having better.

Our beliefs
What we
stand for
What we believe shapes how we work, how we treat each other, and what we create.

Our values keep us grounded, guide our decisions, and reflect the lifestyle we live - whether we're in the office, out in the world, or exploring our way through life somewhere in between.
Integrity & Ethics
We do what we know is right - even when no one’s watching. For us, integrity means showing up with honesty, treating people with respect and making fair, thoughtful decisions.
Excellence
Excellence is our baseline. In a fast-moving world, we stay flexible, move with purpose, and own our results every step of the way.
Humility
We leave our ego at the door. We listen, stay open, and treat every voice with respect. Wins and mistakes are all part of the ride, and we know we grow by learning from both.
One Team, One Dream
We’re better together. We understand that collaboration isn’t just how we work – it’s how we win.
Direct, honest & open communications
We keep it real. We communicate openly, honestly, and with respect - the more we share, the better we all get.
Positive, enjoyable environment
We live the lifestyle we design for. That means staying passionate and finding joy in the everyday moments - on and off the clock.
