Designing innovative solutions for an equitable future.
Honest innovation
The Equity Studio is grounded in the principles of transparency and systems change to bring forth health equity in the here and now. Building equity in and of itself requires rebuilding systems that were intended to exclude marginalized populations. Thus, the studio creates a safe space for speaking truth to power while fostering the freedom to be innovative in its approach to health equity.
