- Quote from Fellow
-
The Design Impact Group (DIG) is the only design practice embedded within a strategic consultancy purely focused on social impact. Being a summer fellow there was an incredible learning experience, mostly as a result of collaborating with some of the most driven and humbling-ly bright people I’ve had the opportunity to work with (MDP excluded of course).
Over the course of 14 weeks, I assisted on a range of projects – from visual design support, to conceptual modeling and frameworks, workshops, and a trip to Nairobi – and while my role varied from project to project, expectations were always set high. And when projects direction felt uncertain or workload got intense, the studio culture of collaboration and support was one of the most gratifying parts of the whole experience.
