Culture at Pivot
We believe design has the power to shape communities—and we carry that responsibility with care. That means building a culture where empathy leads, diverse perspectives are honoured, and collaboration is how we thrive—our design practice centres around people, place, and possibility.
We’re committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion as a way of working. It shows up in how we build teams, how we engage with users and stakeholders, and how we create solutions that not only work but also resonate. It’s about fostering an environment where everyone feels respected and heard, and where different cultural perspectives are not only acknowledged but celebrated.
We recognize that design has historically privileged certain worldviews while silencing others. We see reconciliation not as a concept, but as a design imperative. That means acknowledging the Indigenous Peoples whose land we work on, engaging with their stories and knowledge systems, and creating space for multiple ways of knowing and imagining. More on decolonizing the design practice.
As designers, we don’t just respond to the present—we shape the future. So we ask: Whose future are we designing for? And who gets to decide what that future looks like? For us, the answers lie in building a world where many worlds can fit.
