Our mission is to spearhead sustainable innovation while advancing creative excellence. We bridge the gap between emerging talent and industry needs by curating bespoke opportunities for junior designers, whether through problem-solving initiatives, art installations, design jobs, or strategic placements within our network of design firms. Embedded in every project is thorough research and industry insight, driving solutions that are both academically backed and practically sound.
Through our dynamic companies: Design jr., Network’d, and Sample’d, we create opportunities for emerging talent, foster meaningful professional connections, and reimagine waste for the future of design. Together, we build a Network of Innovation that bridges industry needs with sustainable, forward-thinking solutions in design, mentorship, and material diversion.
