Creating a Culture of Collaboration

Collaboration is fundamental to the design process: from working with clients and vendors to finding creative partners. The Design Office is a group of small design firms and independent practitioners who share space and support each other’s work. Members have different areas of expertise and work with a wide variety of clients while also pushing the boundaries of their practice through uncommissioned projects. The group has collaborated on a number of projects over the years that have explored rethinking cultural identity, finding common ground, expanding boundaries, and finding clarity in complexity.
