We partner with organizations to solve their hardest problems — and build products from within that do the same. We think in whole systems, not single screens.
We work two ways at once — and each side makes the other sharper.
Embedded, multidisciplinary teams that uncover latent needs, prototype quickly, and design whole systems — not just screens.
Our in-house products are living laboratories for our most ambitious ideas — built around real human needs, tested in the real world.
Recent work from across the collective — research, products, and lived experiences, each built around a real human need.
Studio product A care platform that routes a new mother's village to support her after birth — without her ever having to ask.
Clinical pilot A glowing visual language that lets patients draw and map their pain — turning a dismissed experience into clinical data.
Installation A ritual sound installation built from Southeast Asian value systems instead of imported Western ones.
Prototype suite AI agents that support human becoming instead of capturing attention — parks where the internet built casinos.
Simulation An agent-based simulation that makes the US healthcare system visible as a self-maintaining machine — and testable.
Field pilot Cyclical teacher mentorship in Uganda, where shared experience becomes the currency that funds better learning.
Experience An immersive dinner that makes everyday acts of ecological and social reciprocity visible and shared.
Research Tangible artifacts and AI voices that let people hold, visit, and pass on lost queer histories.
We start in empathy — the latent human need beneath the brief.
Structured experimentation to widen what's possible.
Rapid cycles that make ideas tangible and testable.
We design the whole ecosystem, not one isolated screen.
We came up together through Stanford's graduate design program — and decided to keep building. Creative technologists, researchers, and makers who'd rather solve the real problem than the obvious one.
From engineering to anthropology, green chemistry to data science — small enough to think as one.
Have a problem worth solving, or just want to know more? The door's open.
