Our Approach

Based on the principles of design-thinking, Palmwood uses empathy and curiosity in exploring bold new ideas with diverse partners. Its mission is to unlock the power of creativity in everyone’s hands and open up new conversations about what is possible through design.

Embrace Questions

We frame challenges with questions to help guide our curiosity toward insights and opportunities which matter to the people we’re designing for.

Radical Co-Creation

Co-creating with people challenges our assumptions, deepens insights, and makes sure we’re solving for the right needs with empathy.

Building to Think

In a high-fidelity world, building prototypes and iterating ideas along the way leads to more impact and validated input for final execution.

Creative Empowerment

Teaching the mindsets and skillsets of creative problem solving by connecting the people who serve with the people they serve.

Crafting Narratives

To inspire impactful change, we design to meet the heart, mind, and spirit through thoughtful storytelling and immersive experience.
