A word from Chaya
"From speculative design projects, to academic inquiries, this firm is a reflection of what is true. Sometimes people and ideas get pushed to the side, and because of this resources can deplenish, access can be revoked, rights can be removed, and entities can become marginalized.
This advisory and lab brings together the thought leaders and stakeholders who are curious, cause-led, and dare to re-design their respective industries.
Through theory and application, we keep all in mind."
- Principal, Chaya Howell
