Compass and Canvas

Compass & Canvas is a Perth-based consultancy working at the intersection of strategy, culture, and innovation. Based in Boorloo on Whadjuk Noongar Boodjar, we help organisations think ahead, respond to complexity, and deliver meaningful, future-focused work — always grounded in the places and communities they serve. We work across the arts, culture, events, tourism, hospitality, and research sectors, partnering with clients in the public, private, and community spheres throughout Western Australia and beyond. Founded by Georgia Mathieson (MBA, GAICD), Compass & Canvas brings over two decades of lived experience in cultural programming, hospitality leadership, and strategic consulting. Our services include project planning, scenario and foresight facilitation, stakeholder engagement, and funding strategy — all delivered through a relational, practice-based approach. Whether launching a new venue, shaping cultural policy, or designing strategic frameworks for creative initiatives, Compass & Canvas helps teams move from ideas to impact — with clarity, care, and imagination.
