Let’s shift together
A big part of DesignShifts was born out of the idea that no one knows it all but together we know a lot. We love collaborating with others practitioners who are interested in Shifting perspectives, processes, power, postures, and the purpose of design.
Through our work and our network of practitioners we bring together designers, strategists, founders, policy innovators, researchers, artists, climate practitioners, students, citizens, and more. What connects them is not their role, but a shared intuition: The old model is breaking. The next one is not yet formed. Together, we work in this transition — building the practices we need now.
We believe meaningful change happens when ideas, disciplines, and people come together. By exploring intersections, we uncover new possibilities, challenge assumptions, and create spaces for learning, making, and connecting.
Work with us on Lab experiments
Through the DesignShifts Making Lab, we take on research, strategy, and design commissions with individuals, organizations and movements navigating systemic transition. If you're facing a challenge that conventional design can't solve, we'd like to hear from you.
Join us at the crossroads and intersections.
