co-creating a better future

through design, with care,

and with community.

we become intentional, inclusive, resilient and creative.

design is the process of intentionally create or change something. and design is also a set of practices, principles and mindsets. design is a practice of learning by doing, a practice of learning with community, building on strengths and iterating creatively. design is a practice of curiosity to explore and understand people, services and systems, a practice of sense making to create impact, of storytelling to convey change.

through design,

we make our commitment real and our efforts sustainable.

care is responsibility. care is attention to detail. care is ethical decision making. care is awareness. care is power-sharing. care is participation. care is mutuality. care is to attach importance to our work together. care is what exists between us. care is health, welfare, maintenance and protection. care is a continuous commitment to learning and unlearning, to giving and receiving, to being present. care is a quality that we need to bring more intentionally to the work we do.

with care,

we create the conditions for thriving futures.

and with community,

by weaving different design approaches such as human-centred design, systemic design and co-design, with care we can work in and with community and genuinely respond to diverse and complex social challenges in ways that are inclusive and move towards shared goals. these creative and participatory processes help us achieve outcomes that are equitable and meaningful, while going through a process that - if well facilitated - is empowering, rewarding, and in the best cases, healing.
