Silbo is an impact-led
design company [and a language]
“Silbo is an Island language dating from the 16th century consisting of four vowels, four consonants, and over 400 words, all through whistling. A speaker of Silbo is often referred to as a Silbador.
When related to the design process, we allow the unseen to be seen and use proven methodologies to create value.

Health Innovation
The Yohlar programme is a first-of-its-kind, level 6 qualification in business model innovation to incorporate LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® and Design Thinking.
EMPATHY & IMPACT
We use the term “empathetic design” as we feel that empathy should be the key element in any design process. Our aim is to bring creativity and our multi-disciplinary design ethic to all organizations regardless of size.
We also use the term “Impact Driven” as we feel that outcomes should guide the process and not the other way around. We also feel that creativity can be taught, nurtured and refined, it may need the right environment to flourish and we can help with that as well.
Our commitment to this empathetic / impact driven approach means that we work with our clients to help identify, clarify and codify their aims and objectives, and then help them achieve them in the best way possible using a range of different methods.
