Design-Led Problem Solving
Building stronger communities through collaborative action.
We shape local design labs that bring together diverse voices - especially those with lived experience - to explore complex social challenges and imagine new possibilities. Using a blend of community research and design thinking, we guide teams through a collaborative process of discovery, prototyping, and refinement. With funding and technical support through The Social Impact Lab Alberta, promising ideas are transformed into tangible, community-led solutions.
