Harnessing arts, design and business to support game-changing initiatives that pursue knowledge production, meaning, innovation and impact. With a unique methodology of UX Research, Business Development, Design Thinking & Production, and Ecosystem Building, we specialize in turning early concepts into scalable initiatives. We work with mature organizations looking to launch special projects, new startups in the idea phase, and everything in between. We have recently launched Racial Equity Accelerator, a grant-based accelerator program applying advanced technology (AI, data science, coding) to fast-track the work of organizations who are working on equity, diversity and inclusion. An initial cohort will develop a suite of corporate API's that can be implemented within companies to optimize their EDI internally and as their EDI work extends to society.
