About Living Things Studio
Living Things Studio is a play and participation studio based in South East London. We create participatory experiences, workshops, and games that invite people to think together, act together and imagine otherwise.
Our work focuses on designing playful experiences and spaces that help people explore ideas, share perspectives and make things together.
We believe play is a vital tool for learning, experimentation, connection and co-creation. Alongside our projects, we share research and resources through our wiki, contributing to a wider understanding of play as both a practice and a way of thinking.

Our Mission
Play is widely recognised as fundamental to human development, yet it remains unexplored and often misunderstood.
Living Things Studio is grounded in the belief that play, as a concept, a design tool and an experience, is essential to how we understand ourselves and the world around us.
We are only beginning to understand what play can do.
About Tiz Creel (founder)
I’m Tiz Creel, the person behind the Living Things studio. I am a participatory artist, creative facilitator and game designer, originally from Mexico City and now based in London. With over eight years of experience across the cultural and education sectors, I founded Living Things Studio in 2023 as a space to bring together play-related research, resources and collaborations.
I design workshops, games, and collective experiences that use play to think, learn, and make things together. My work sits between design and education, working through co-creation with communities and cultural organisations.
Alongside this, I work as a facilitator and project producer, supporting participatory work from early ideas through to delivery.
