“… connecting the power of design to the people who need it most, and the places where it can make a real and lasting difference.”
Project H is a team of designers and builders engaging locally to improve the quality of life for the socially overlooked. Their long-term initiatives focus on improving environments, products, and experiences for K-12 education institutions in the US through systems- level design thinking and deep community engagements. Project H is a tax exempt 501c3 nonprofit based in the San Francisco Bay Area and Bertie County, North Carolina.
Project H’s five-tenet design process:
There is no design without (critical) action;
We design WITH, not FOR;
We document, share and measure;
We start locally and scale globally;
We design systems, not stuff
Founded in January 2008 by Emily Pilloton a then disgruntled designer, Emily formed Project H Design as a nonprofit, and as a conduit and catalyst to provide real, socially-driven, scalable, and empowering design projects to designers, and most importantly, great design solutions to communities that needed them. Since January 2008, Project H has grown from one person’s vision to a coalition of hundreds of designer’s worldwide, working in project teams on 20+ initiatives in 6 countries.
Emily has a background in architecture and product design. She has written for design magazines and blogs, and was the Managing Editor of Inhabitat (a sustainable design online publication).
