are opportunities to design with the people we design for

We collaborate with youth of all ages to uncover insights, strengthen creative confidence in young collaborators, build community relationships, and develop effective, community-driven design solutions at various project scales. Whether the project goal is an object, a piece of furniture, an interior space renovation, or an entire building, co-design develops successful project through meaningful collaboration.
