about

what we do: We are designers who partner with communities and disciplinary experts on projects for sustainable development and leverage multiple perspectives to create new value. Bringing together people from diverse communities and disciplines, we design creative, innovative, and sustainable solutions for social, cultural, economic, and environmental problems. We believe design is a tool to empower people and change the way we think.

developing partnerships: The value of our process is beyond the products we produce – it is what we cumulatively share, exchange, and learn with all of our partners. Projects we undertake are rich opportunities for innovation, development, and a positive impact for all. We work to leverage these values. The designShares site is a space to articulate the ideas we have and how we put these ideas into practice. We hope successful projects and lessons learned are used, reproduced, and made better by others for development and change.

This site: is a space to articulate the ideas we have and how we put these ideas into practice. It is our intention that successful projects be used, reproduced, and made better by anyone, anywhere.
