Context Design Studio is a strategic creative practice integrating social innovation with project development and built environment design.
Our mission is to enhance sustainability and community impact by integrating design thinking, human-centered design, and the SEED framework in collaboration with nonprofits, community organizations, and built environment professionals.
CDS supports partners to gain clarity of their vision, develop a contextual framework, and ideation.
Our collaborative approach redefines traditional architectural practices by ensuring an equitable and inclusive foundation from the outset. By recognizing the value and capacity of collaboration and engagement during the design process we help to develop context driven strategies that enable positive change.
We provide context and clarity before you commit to technical design and production services.
