WHAT OUR PARTNERS SAY




“Design for Progress is a ‘design’ shop only in the most sophisticated sense of the word — not branding as thin veneer, but deep thinking to connect theory of change with strategic and programmatic planning. In my 30+ years of engaging organizational consultants in economic and racial justice spaces, no one has added more value to our work than the good people at DfP.”
Jeff Selbin
Chancellor's Clinical Professor of Law and Faculty Director, Policy Advocacy Clinic (PAC), UC Berkeley School of Law




“Working with DfP is truly collaborative — intellectual depth and design brilliance combined with kindness and humor. It is a gift to have partners who believe so deeply in the work and who make such multifaceted contributions!”
Rachel Godsil
Co-Founder of Perception Institute, Distinguished Professor of Law and a Chancellor's Social Justice Scholar, Rutgers Law School
