what is designing the we?

designing the WE is a for-benefit design studio positioned within the fields of social innovation and community driven social, cultural and economic development. dtW facilitates collaborative processes to redefine how big picture systemic challenges are approached, identify opportunities for action, and co-design more holistic and resilient strategies centered on positive transformation.

WE are unlikely collaborators. Our diverse backgrounds are matched by our shared passion for positive change. Bridging differences in professional and personal experience  makes us a strong “we” capable of grappling with complex problems from multiple perspectives.

This is what we mean by designing the WE.
