TWOxTWO

one part design consultancy,

one part design school.

We work with leaders who want to do two things: increase capacity for design and innovation work while also getting creative work done. We believe the two things go hand in hand.

We work alongside our clients, empowering them to do the design work themselves.

What We Do

Teaching
and Guiding

We lean into our extensive experience in the studio classroom to create impactful learning experiences based on clients’ real projects or problems.

Design
Integration

We work closely with leaders to incorporate new creative capacity into their cultures, which often means evolving policies and infrastructures.

Fractional
Creative Direction

We operate as part-time design leaders in organizations that don’t yet have a design team. This includes supporting specific team members to learn, practice, and execute design work on existing projects. 

The
Summer Studio

The Summer Studio is a modern apprenticeship in creative leadership that happens every May. Learn more about it here.

About Us

Based on our expertise as design educators, we build learning experiences for the team doing the work. It’s very similar to how we run our studio classrooms, guiding learners toward better creative work – on our scaffolding, but on their fuel.

Our Clients

“What our clients have in common is that they don’t want the work outsourced and handed to them by a consultant,

they want to learn to do the work themselves.”
