Empowering Organizations Through Collaborative Design.
At IGM Design Consultants, we’re dedicated to making sure everyone has a voice in the design process. We focus on transforming design engagement by recognizing and using the valuable insights that your staff and clients bring, based in their lived and living experience.
We provide practical tools and lead engaging workshops rooted in trauma- and violence-informed, intersectional, and equitable practices, to help your organization understand and describe your spatial needs. With our expertise in research, architectural design, and the social service sector, we’re committed to designing engagement processes that truly reflect your values.
