Summary

As applied design researchers we are sensemakers: we are digesting society’s complexity and set out to improve it in meaningful ways. With our practices, we aspire to be catalysts for societal transformation. We apply our imaginative abilities to come up with alternatives for the status quo and we materialise ideas into tangible outcomes, not so much to solve things, but to set things in motion.
