Our Process
Whole populations of people have been harmfully left out of shaping the institutions that Americans interact with, often at our most tender moments. To design for a world that is equitable, we must try things that have never been done before - and do so with an anti-racist approach to innovation.
In our work, we support communities by helping them solve the problems that matter most to them. Our innovation process is an intentional methodology intended to support in the reimagining of the harmful systems that keep people from health and self-actualization. Our process provides a structure for nurturing ideas from defining problems experienced by community members to their development across scanning, prioritizing, designing, and testing phases.
