Dear friends of Design Impact, The design problems our team tackles every day are often “wicked”, meaning they are complex, interrelated, and seemingly unsolvable. Whether we’re focused on workforce development, quality medical care, or improving educational outcomes, we know that there are no singular catchy solutions that can fix them in their entirety. But we also know that there are incredible opportunities for change. At Design Impact we focus on what we can do. We work with our partners in schools, hospitals, government, and social services to get more creative, get more efficient, get more aligned, and get more empathic. We design systems and services that get at deeper root causes, that surprise and delight, that engage and empower. Check out the rest of this report to see the impact. If you’re interested in improving outcomes across many issues, as well as improving the way social change is happening across sectors, then I hope you’ll consider supporting Design Impact this year. It’s not just design – it’s revolution.
