Top Talent from Imperial. Focused on Your Challenge.

DreamTeam is powered by exceptional student talent from across Imperial College London: creative thinkers, problem solvers, and future leaders in design.

As part of Imperial, we understand the rhythms, cultures, and everyday realities of campus life from the inside. This perspective helps us create solutions that are more inclusive, collaborative, and grounded in real needs.

While our home is at Imperial, we also welcome external partners who value fresh thinking, real insight, and design that makes a difference.

HOW WE DO IT

We build and lead bespoke design teams from within Imperial. We connect top talent to real challenges and deliver creative outcomes with strategy and precision.

Brief

We begin every project with a structured discovery phase. We work with Imperial departments or external partners to define the challenge, understand the audience, and agree on what success looks like. This early alignment sets the direction and ensures that design decisions stay focused and strategic.

Curate

We curate a dedicated Dream Team for each project, drawing from our pool of students and alumni creatives across design, research, content, and strategy. Each team is built around the project’s needs, combining capabilities, lived experience, and fresh thinking to form a high-functioning creative unit.

Shape

We lead the creative process with structure, clarity, and critique. Our studio team sets the rhythm, facilitates collaboration, and guides the team’s progress. We shape the methodology, support iteration, and maintain a high standard of design quality and impact.

Craft

We take every project through to execution. Whether it is a campaign, interface, identity, product, or spatial experience, our teams produce refined, high-quality outputs that are context-aware, user-focused, and built to make a lasting impression.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

One of our best early decisions was to partner with #DreamTeam, a student, alumni and faculty-led consultancy (led by Nick Munro). They brought fresh ideas in UX and design, along with a challenge: How do you bring unconstrained design thinking into a highly constrained public organisation? Answer: follow Marty Cagan's principle: "The job of a product team is to solve hard problems in ways our users love, yet work for our business."

Imperial Chocolate is more than just a sweet gift; it’s a true taste of Imperial's talent and global spirit, offering visitors a unique way to experience the creativity and international diversity that defines our community.

It’s been a great experience working with DreamTeam. They truly care about what the Imperial community wants and are always keen to engage with us throughout the process. Their approach makes sure the community feels included in shaping the app, and it’s clear they’re creating something genuinely for Imperial people.

I am so happy that someone (you guys) from Imperial actually created that futuristic and professional app.
