DESIGN RELATIONSHIPS
The equityXdesign Studio
Rooted in equityXdesign, the Studio blends design thinking, radical inclusion, and historical context to uncover inequities, build authentic relationships, and develop innovative solutions. Through a structured yet flexible process, leaders prototype, test, and refine strategies to drive equitable, systemic change in their organizations and communities.
The equityXdesign Studio is more than a workspace—it’s a dynamic ecosystem where leaders converge to tackle real-world challenges through the lens of equity and innovation. Here, we transform complex problems into opportunities for growth, creativity, and systemic change, empowering you to lead with intention and impact.

What Our Clients Have to Say
“The 228 Accelerator team has supported our teachers and principals to engage in meaningful learning around identity, historical context, and design thinking.”
Lauren Overton, Principal
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
“The Design Achievement at the Margins course offered a needed pause moment for my own and our organization’s thinking about better serving those at the margins… The content and readings in the course broadened my understanding of racial equity and inequity in public schooling, and the incisive prompts left me no choice but to step back and rethink many assumptions I have about my work in education. ”
