Using the transformative approach of equity by design we help you and your team reach your greatest aspirations for systems change, innovation, and impact.
See - engage - Act
Equity by Design is an approach to addressing equity challenges and change efforts in communities and complex systems. The goal is to combine what we know about effective design with what we know about social change. The desired outcome is to not only disrupt systems of inequity and oppression, but to create and reimagine our communities.
Create designs that help interrupt inequity and increase opportunity for those most impacted by oppression
Transform power by shifting the relationships between those who hold power to design and those impacted by these designs
Generate critical learning and increased agency for those involved in the design work
See and understand the landscape you’re working in.
Engage to make meaning of your current reality.
Take action to address your equity challenge and learn continuously from action taken.
