Co-creation is our key to accelerating impact.
Co-creation is a deeply collaborative approach to design in which organizations learn, unlearn, and innovate alongside the individuals they aim to serve.
The Public Works method of co-creation fosters authentic connection, candid conversation, and critical reflection. We assemble people according to the needs of each project–people with lived experiences, other subject-matter experts, as well as internal and external stakeholders, etc.

And cultivate the courage, creativity, and strategic clarity for teams to explore the possibilities from a diversity of perspectives. Then, align on a strategic direction, act, and adapt accordingly.
This human-centered, data-driven approach to design increases the likelihood that the resulting solutions will have the intended impact given they're rooted the needs and desires of the individuals and organizations they aim to serve.
