Who We Are

Founded in 2016, we're a strategy and implementation consulting firm helping organizations design and implement trusted AI and Learning and Employment Record ecosystems. We work at the intersection of strategy, standards, technology, governance, and human-centered design. We help organizations move from vision to implementation.

What We Do

We co-design with our clients in the areas of data modeling, strategy, user experience, visual design, and engineering to create innovative digital tools that serve real-world needs. Our work spans user research, information design, data mapping, AI, interface design, technical architecture and more—but always with a focus on  safety and ethics to protect your business and your users.

Why We Do It

Because design shapes power. And in a world driven by data and AI, it’s more urgent than ever to shape it responsibly. We believe good data design coupled with user experience best practices can make systems more equitable, more human, and more clear. Before you dive into LER's or AI, let's have a conversation.

Ethical AI: Whose in Charge?
