LEADING BRANDS WHO TRUST US WITH THEIR NEEDS

The Design Gym team has been the most influential partner we've had on this journey.

Fortune 100 Technology Client

Great work on all the phases: the engagement, collateral, workshop design, and stellar delivery today. It was a very important moment for the ELT, and we all agreed that the most important thing was for us to build momentum from here.

Fortune 50 Technology Client

The work I did with The Design Gym was nothing short of life changing for me - I really mean that. It fundamentally shifted how I experience and do my work, but it was so much more than that. It changed how I teach. It changed my relationships. It shifted everything for me and I'm so grateful for all that I've learned from you

WHY US?

We’re an independent boutique—and proud of it. Here’s how working with us is different:

ACCELERATED OUTCOMES

We typically work in fast, 12-week cycles that provide enough time for rigorous outcomes but avoid getting lost in analysis paralysis or innovation theater.

WE TRAIN YOUR TEAM ALONG THE WAY

You read that right; we actually slow down enough to bring your team along the journey. We’ve trained 20,000+ people on new ways of working and embed those moments into every project we do.

PILOTS OVER POWERPOINTS

The primary metric we prioritize is increasing the velocity of learning. We push clients to test-and-learn so that new innovations get into action faster.

CREATIVITY MEETS BUSINESS ACUMEN

Our clients call us when they explicitly need to level up how they’re tackling their problems. Business results might be ‘what’ we deliver, but ‘how’ we get there will be unlike any consulting relationship you’ve experienced.

CONSULTANTS THAT INJECT ENERGY

In an era where everyone can use an extra dose of energy and inspiration, we give more than we take. Clients aren’t shy in sharing that our projects are the best part of their week (and sometimes career!).

DRIVING CHANGE THROUGH ENGAGEMENT

We don’t talk about ‘stakeholders’ – we bring them to the table. Our human-centered approach and facilitation expertise is a secret weapon for getting folks engaged and activated around shared goals and transformations.

CASE STUDIES

Our work wins hearts, minds, and metrics. Here are a few of our favorite stories:
