TOGETHER WITH YOU on blurring boundaries in design collaboration

TOGETHER WITH YOU is a creative practice built on a simple premise: people are creative by default. Artem Tarasov and Artem Taradash – both former Heads of Design at Arrival – operate from Tbilisi, Barcelona and Dubai, working on projects ranging from crypto to supercars. Their name reflects how they work: decision-makers join creative workshops, contributing stories, beliefs and ideas that become the foundation for design. Rather than delivering finished concepts for approval, they structure and translate collective thinking into coherent systems. The duo reject rigid discipline labels, seeing brand and product as inseparable, and prefer long-term embedded relationships over isolated projects. They’ve deliberately stayed small, working with a network of collaborators rather than building a traditional agency structure. In our conversation, they discuss what their workshop sessions actually look like, why design often loses its disruptive potential in large organisations, and what they learned from Arrival’s rise and fall. TBI: Hey Artem and Artem, how are things going? TWY: Hey, all good! Starting a new season – our fourth already, wow. We like to think of our practice as a TV series we’re both participating in and watching at the same time. Same characters, new context, unexpected plot twists. So yes, it feels like the beginning of a new season – more mature, but still curious.
