WE ARE DESIGN OUTSIDER.

WE ARE
DESIGN OUTSIDER.

We create and support the design of great places and tools to better serve people.

Guided by our passion to help deliver digital and physical environments that enhance the human experience, we focus on spatial, digital, and social design.

With an interdisciplinary background in planning, architecture, and education, we are well placed to bridge the divide between designers and those typically outside of the design process - design outsiders.

We invite you to learn more about who we are, what we do, and why we do it.
