Our story
Founded in 2012, we’ve been helping brands and businesses connect with their audiences in bold, memorable ways. From product launches and custom exhibition stands to exciting retail pop-ups and brand activations, we manage the entire process – from concept and design through to production, installation and bump-out.
We exist to elevate milestone moments into impactful brand experiences. With a collaborative approach and attention to detail, we pride ourselves on delivering not only standout spaces, but a seamless and positive experience for every client we partner with.

Our process
We know what works.
In six to 12 weeks, we take your vision and turn it into an experience your audience won’t forget.
At Colab Design Group, we know every client’s goals are different, and that’s why every project we build is unique.
Every project starts with understanding you. We learn about your brand, objectives and the outcomes you want to achieve, asking the right questions to ensure your project works strategically and performs in its environment.
From there, we align your vision with practical considerations — including budget, design, functionality, compliance and accessibility. Once the foundations are set, our design team develops a bold, tailored design concept that reflects your brand and maximises impact.
Our in-house production specialists then bring the vision to life, managing fabrication, logistics and on-site installation with precision. The result? A seamless delivery that allows you to focus on what matters most: connecting with your audience.
If you’re seeking a creative, innovative and results-driven partner for your next trade show, brand activation, retail pop-up or display we’d love to show you how we can transform your vision into an unforgettable brand experience.
behind the scenes
Meet our founder
After more than a decade in the exhibition industry, Dennis founded Colab Design Group in 2013, building a reputation for delivering impactful, design-led environments. He has led the design, construction and project management of bespoke spaces for globally recognised brands, including De’Longhi, Fujitsu, Tiffany & Co., TAG Heuer and Beats by Dre. From major trade shows to retail kiosks, pop-ups and fit-outs, Dennis works closely with multidisciplinary teams to create high-impact brand experiences.
With a background in industrial design, his approach is influenced by both the craftsmanship of his Filipino heritage and the progressive thinking of contemporary Australian design. He is driven by thoughtful problem-solving and takes a hands-on approach to prototyping and production. Dennis has exhibited at Workshopped and Saturday InDesign, with furniture and lighting featured in leading design publications. In 2011, his Snug Chair received the prestigious Red Dot Design Award, marking a defining moment in his design journey.
