We are an intersectional feminist organization and community for research, creativity, education, joy, and justice.

Positioned at the intersections of social justice and design, we focus on community driven innovation, technology, design and data practices, creative literacy and advocacy, equitable design innovation and more.

While we use feminist frameworks to inform and guide design processes, we also harness design and creativity as powerful tools for feminist advocacy.

We delve into the theoretical foundations of feminist design at Feminist Design Discourse, producing thought-provoking writing and theory that challenge patriarchal design narratives and promote progressive thought.
