We firmly believe in the benefits of
involving users and stakeholders in design and have great experience leading successful engagement and consultation.
Many projects can benefit from a participatory design process. Whether through co-design, stakeholder engagement or consultation, groups and individuals can be involved at different stages using a range of interactive methods.

Co-design +
Co-design is a more intensive process in which a representative group of key stakeholders, such as elected local residents join the client and design team early in a project and work together to define the brief, the objectives and sometimes the budget and programme.
Participatory design +
Participatory design is a broad process that can accommodate a wide range of groups and people, by engaging them with design decisions through workshops and activities.
Consultation +
Consultation is a requirement of most projects and involves the clear, public communication of work in progress to elicit feedback to inform the design process.
