Design thinking

There are many different design thinking education offerings out there. But ours comes with a values-infused twist. We don’t believe that design thinking is intrinsically equitable, ethical, or effective. But we do know that it can be all that and more. Learn what makes design thinking a truly remarkable method.

Learn about co-creation

It’s what the world needs now. And it’s not simply about collaboration. Learn to center yourself in awareness in order to more effectively work with others. Consider how the work you do impacts realities beyond your workplace. Reframe how and why you do things, and welcome greater diversity, creativity, connection, and understanding to the mix.

Learn about systems

Begin to explore systems thinking with us, and see things in a new light. Recognizing the systemic realities we are in (and that we may be creating) can equip us to ask important questions. What power dynamics might we be missing? How do we define what’s good? Can we design responsibly for unknown futures?
