ABOUT OUR COMPANY
WHAT IS CO:DESIGN?
@unreleased
We’re a global business design firm based in NYC that focuses on helping local impact-driven businesses to enter the US market through collaborative design. Our impact is created by building relationships between different communities, bridging local and global markets, business and design, tradition and innovation, public and private sectors, and creativity and logic.
Our company name is inspired by the concept of co-design advocated by Ezio Manzini, who is an Italian design academic and author known for his work on design for social innovation and sustainability. Co-design brings all stakeholders into the process, collaborating to define problems and imagine solutions, particularly in contexts of social innovation, to create meaningful change.
OUR VISION
We believe design is most powerful when it’s collaborative and directed toward social impact. That’s why CO:Design & Strategy brings together voices of designers, researchers, clients, and communities to shape solutions that not only succeed in new markets but also contribute to a more sustainable world.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to partner with purpose-driven businesses and communities to scale their positive impact globally through innovative and collaborative design solutions.
