Company Overview
Spaces that speak in their own quiet language.
TNS is a business built around restraint, stripping every project back to its essential form, material and light. We design, engineer, build and install across retail, activations, interiors and the odd photo-worthy moment in between.
No fluff. No filler. No bolted-on nonsense.
About Us
We work in whispers, not shouts.
A well-designed space doesn’t need to yell to be heard. It nudges. It flatters the light. It makes people slow down without knowing why. That’s the room we’re always trying to build.
We’re one team across four disciplines, so nobody plays telephone with your brief. The person sketching your concept knows the person welding the frame knows the person hanging the sign at 06:00 on install day. Fewer meetings, better rooms.
What We Do
Four categories, one vision.
Each stage runs into the next without a hand-off. Which is a polite way of saying: no finger-pointing when it’s time to hang the thing.
3D Design
Form follows imagination.
Teleporting your brand from “what if?” to “look at that!”, see it, tweak it, and fall in love before it exists in the real world.
Every project begins in pixels. We build accurate, to-scale 3D models of your space so decisions get made with confidence, not vibes. Walk the room, swap the finish, move the shelf, kill the wall. When the render looks right, the real thing tends to follow.
- Concept development & spatial mapping
- Photorealistic rendering & visualisation
- Material, texture & finish specification
- Digital prototyping & design validation
Structural Engineering
Gravity works 365.
“Looks good on paper” shouldn’t end with a gust of wind. We bridge creative genius and gravity so the big ideas actually stand up for themselves.
Behind every clean silhouette is a bracket doing quiet heroics. Our engineering translates the design into frames, fixings and load paths that pass sign-off and survive the crowd on opening night. Pretty and permitted.
- Load, wind & rigging calculations
- Frame, joinery & fixing detailing
- Material engineering & spec sheets
- Compliance and safety sign-off
Manufacturing
Where pixels get their passport into the real world.
Sparks fly, machines hum, ideas take shape. We take pride in the sawdust, steel and meticulous finishes that make your activation the centrepiece of the room.
In-house workshop, hands-on team. From CNC-routed plywood and TIG-welded steel to sprayed finishes and hand-detailed edges, we build the whole thing under one roof, so quality control isn’t a phone call, it’s the next room.
- Precision CNC routing & laser cutting
- Advanced fabrication & weld assembly
- Premium finishing, painting & coating
- QC assurance & structural testing
Execution & Installation
In, out and impeccably done.
We handle the logistics, the levellers and the clean-up so your brand looks like it grew there overnight, naturally.
Pre-dawn call times, mall management, cherry pickers, the works. We arrive with a plan, a spirit level and the coffee, and leave a space that opens on time, powers up first try, and strikes down without a scratch on the floor.
- On-site coordination & risk management
- Structural rigging & secure mounting
- Electrical integration & utility connection
- Site sign-off & striking planning
Beyond The Drawings
Experience elements.
The tactile bits people actually touch, walk past, photograph, and remember. Choose your weapon, or let us mix a few together.
POS Displays
Built in, not bolted on.
Integrated product & feature displays, modular fixtures for rotating content, lighting designed around the display, materials matched to the space.
POS shouldn’t feel like a leaflet holder in a nice room. We design fixtures that read as furniture, modular enough to rotate seasonal campaigns, lit properly so the product actually sings, and built to survive being wheeled around a warehouse.
Photo Opportunities
Designed to be shared.
Signature vantage points and backdrops. Natural and artificial light considered together. Branded moments, without the branded feel.
The best branding is the one guests post themselves. We plan the vantage points, the lighting angle and the crop before we build a thing, so the shareable shot is baked in, not stapled on with a hashtag wall.
Exterior Branding
The first impression.
Facade signage & identity placement, wayfinding and entrance design, night-time lighting strategy, materials built for the elements.
Sun, rain, salty air and the occasional overzealous parking bollard. Exterior work gets engineered for weather and mounted for permanence, with a night-time lighting scheme that keeps the brand awake long after the store closes.
Neon Flex & Lightboxes
No compromise. Just glow.
Custom illuminated signage that punches above its watt. Energy-efficient LED neon flex, indoor and outdoor, precision-crafted to your brand.
LED neon flex bent to any script, backed by acrylic or steel, and wired to last. Lightboxes with edge-lit precision, no hotspots, no buzzing transformers, no sad flicker at 2am. Just a clean glow that behaves.
Branded Floor Mats
Brand from the ground up.
High-impact branding at every entrance and touchpoint. Durable, slip-resistant materials for indoor and outdoor, custom shapes and full-colour print.
First surface a customer touches, and the one that quietly grabs half the dirt in your store. Full-colour printed, custom-cut and made from materials rated for the traffic, from boutique doorway to warehouse loading bay.
How We Work
Four moves. No drama.

Understand the site, brief, product and the vision behind them.
Design
Develop concepts across every relevant discipline, in parallel.

Iterate on materials, layout and the millimetre-level detail.
Deliver
Execute, style and hand over a space that looks like it grew there.
Meet The Maker
Hi, I’m Adrian.
If it can be printed, fabricated, lit up, branded, or activated, chances are, I’ve spent the last 24+ years making it happen.
I help clients turn ideas into tangible, attention-grabbing brand experiences. From business cards and brochures to retail displays, wood and steel fabrication, neon flex signage, lightboxes, and full-scale activations, I bring a hands-on understanding of production, design, sales, and execution to every project.
I like to think of myself as the person who makes the complicated feel easy. Need advice on the right substrate? I’ve got you. Want to know if that idea is even physically possible? Let’s find out together.
What clients appreciate most is not just my technical knowledge, but the peace of mind that comes with working with someone who genuinely cares about the outcome. I’m proactive, practical, and always focused on finding the best solution, whether it’s a simple batch of business cards or a large-scale branded environment.
So, if you’re looking for someone who can speak fluent print, understand fabrication, manage production, and keep the process enjoyable along the way, you’re in the right place. Let’s create something that looks great, works hard for your brand, and maybe have a little fun while doing it.
Opportunity
Let’s create something people talk about.
A brief, a napkin sketch, a vague feeling, whatever you’ve got, send it over. We’ll come back with something considered.
