Our Philosophy
Every project begins with the voices of who we’re designing for. They guide our thinking and spark our creativity. We challenge assumptions, reimagine norms, and brainstorm big, bold ideas that open new doors. Design is a team sport. We bring together users, teammates, and partners to make something that works for everyone.

How students turn empathy, research, and collaboration into impact for our communities.
We were so impressed by the quality of work that DFA produces. We are a small marketing team of 2 who needs additional support to keep our forward-facing platform up-to-date. We are hoping to gain a fresh website that continues to attract survivors to participate in our program and donors and volunteers to support us.

Our Sierra Club Group has never had a website - there is a link to a page on our chapter website but it basically is hard to find and useless! We need to have place where people can find information on what we're doing, get involved and learn about environmental and climate issues in our area.

With the help of Design for America, we've redesigned our logo and website to create a smoother, more accessible experience. Signing up for events and unregistering if plans change is now easier than ever.
