Our Story
As activist in our communities we often observed social problems get oversimplified. Conversations would center around creating new, shiny, ideas that were far separated from the challenges they aimed to address. Though crafted with intention, these conversations often would lack the representation of the very communities they aimed to serve and a clear understanding of the problem.
The challenges of our time are complex, often influenced my multiple contributing factors, and weighed down by a history of oppression and antiquated perspectives often far removed from the communities they aim to serve.
As a direct response to this growing complexity, CoAct was formed as a Social Design Studio. Bound by our mission and commitment to community, CoAct helps reframe the problems they aim to solve, build empathy with the communities they aim to serve, and design solutions aligned to the needs of the populations effected by disparities to help them live their best and most authentic lives.
