Who we are
It is easy to settle for less. To stay with a good job but not a great one, to choose security rather than risk. Easy but not always satisfying. In 2003, when fax machines were an advanced form of communication, Helen left her last real job to give space to something new. She had no idea what that would be. Life stepped in, the phone started ringing and Frameworks took off. She has been happily trying to keep up ever since.
Now, as an inner city hub, Frameworks is backed by a thriving and talented team...

The Lizard
Lizards love the sun (life) and contemplation. They are quick, agile and alert. They can drop their tails and grow another one. They are a wonderful symbol for change and renewal.
In indigenous cultures the lizard is represented as ‘lizard dreaming’ where their wisdom is that of a dreamer, bridging the present and the future through dreams. The lizard dreams the future as reality. We believe that people’s perception of ‘what is possible’ directs the actions they take. The vision we create becomes the future we live into.
At Frameworks, our lizard represents the world of possibility made real through action.
