How our 4 services come together …
Imagine

Research and Strategy
Combining qualitative with quantitative research, we dive deep into context. Our aim is to combine current root cause and behaviors, along with future state vision, community assets, and durable strategy to guide the team(s). Our approach is also the outcome. We do our best to embed lived experience inside the research and strategy teams. Imagining a better future also means shifting power dynamics.
Incubate
Grow a concept with rigor and flexibility. Make incremental tests as you cultivate change.
Concepting, Prototyping, & Piloting
Designing the right thing is both a science and an art. We seek and anticipate the nexus of: (1) community needs/desires, (2) market viability, and (3) technical feasibility. To incubate an idea successfully requires appropriate structures, but also space for emergence.
Build
Translate plans into reality. Develop market-ready products, programs, and services.
Product and Service Design
Making the concept tangible is choosing the right talent and providing the right guidance. Our network of designers, engineers, and creatives will work in symphony to make the idea real, from pixels to big picture. From soft launch to full launch and beyond, we’ll right-size the effort based on the phase we’re in.
Enable
Strengthen organizational capacity by up-skilling, advising, or coaching teams on live projects.
Capacity Building & Coaching
Guiding the teams who ultimately deliver the work is equally as important as the solutions we develop. Regardless of what phase of design we’re in, we intentionally design for transition. We grow your team’s capabilities, build the capacity of community organizations, and strengthen the designed solutions by priotizing the people behind the innovation.
