how we do it.

 

defining the process

mosaic walks you through a five-step design, thinking, and making process. mosaic’s curriculum comes from 30 years of designing and thinking experience, locally and globally. to us, Design is:  “an activity that aims at the production of a plan, which plan – if implemented – is intended to bring about a situation with specific desired characteristics without creating unforeseen and undesired side and after effects” - (Rittel, 1968) Architecture 130, UC Berkeley. 


why we love it

 

learning to love the process.  

design thinking blends the conscious and the intuitive. We harness the practice of design in a process-oriented format to help you:  

discover design skills that work. 

connect directly to difficult issues and the people who can address them. 

cultivate a mindset to make and sustain desired changes.  


why it works.
