ABOUT

Our studio is small, fully run by students who support daily operations, individual projects, and our clients directly. We are dedicated to engaging, first and foremost, in work that feels important and supportive to our community.

MISSION & VALUES

As students, our vision is an organization centered around providing for others.

As designers, our approach is equal parts aesthetic and research-based.

Artistic Expression

We thank our clients for supporting our platform for artistic expression as we believe that design can inspire curiosity, discovery, and transformation.

Fairness and Equity

We purposefully invite ongoing conversation that upholds and embodies fair practices and challenges imbalances of power and structural inequities. We are fostering and building an environment that inspires a more equitable future for student voices at RISD. We are open to rebuilding our processes and infrastructure, feel free to reach out to us with any feedback or concerns.

Collaboration and Support

We actively develop meaningful, reciprocal relationships with clients and peers, recognizing that diverse lived experiences and practices enrich our processes. We empower designers with desired support through peer-mentoring at every stage─from research and technical expertise to sustained dialogue before, during, and after project development.
