As a young designer, Emily was frustrated by the design world's lack of meaningful work. Trained in architecture (UC Berkeley) and product design (SAIC), she is convinced of the power of design to change the world, Emily founded Project H to help develop effective design solutions for the people who need them most. The project leaders have a six-tenet design process, as quoted in their mission statement:
"Our six-tenet design process (There is no design without (critical) action; We design WITH, not FOR; We document, share and measure; We start locally and scale globally, We design systems, not stuff and, We build) results in simple and effective design solutions that empower communities and build collective creative capital."
