Kathrine Darnstadt Founder, Latent Design Darnstadt is the Founder of the Chicago based firm Latent Design, has a passion for public interest design and has been widely recognized as a leader in the Architecture profession for dealing with communities and organizations that often have limited budgets and limited resources. Having put half of her entire life’s savings into her business, Darnstadt’s business consisted of 2 main points: 1. Make the thing that makes the things and 2. Don’t go broke! (oops!: Go for broke). With the belief that small projects do have impact, Darnstadt went on with her firm to make prototypes to advance urban agriculture systems, designing spaces for youth makers, supporting artists and commissions and has created art themselves. Part of the 1% of female, minority firm owners, Latent Design is trying to push this further by implementing things like an employee fund; increased the number of paid days off for volunteering; kept summer hours to also support volunteering efforts. Firm philosophy is about 3 things: Define|Design|Deploy and if we can make it neon in the process, we will! Want to learn more about Latent Design?
