Community-Accountable Design

About Us

We are a team of designers, artists, organizers, and facilitators. We come together out of a shared desire to imagine and build a world in which we are all free.

And Also Too’s 6 values icons are arranged in a circle. They represent Community, Care, Justice, Redistribution, Collaboration, and Joy. They are designed with straight lines and sharp angles. The lines are made up of tiny dots, giving them a softened effect.

MISSION

We are working to redistribute power in design. We work with and are accountable to communities that have been systematically excluded from and harmed by conventional design processes. We work collaboratively in ways that cultivate care, deep listening, and joy.

VISION

We envision a world in which the practice of design is rooted in justice. We want to see a world in which all design seeks to create liberatory and healing experiences.
