Designing with People, and not just for People.
We believe that everyone can be collaborators,
not just consumers.
At Participate in Design, we turn the idea of
participatory design into action.
We make community engagement
meaningful and purposeful.
Our Mission
P!D is a community-centric design, planning and educational practice that helps neighbourhoods and public institutions design with people and not just for people.
We are dedicated to:
Facilitating public engagement through engaging and empowering our partners.
Ensuring that everyone is given the right to participate in, and influence the design outcome that affects them.
Our Vision
We hope to build a Singapore where socially just and inclusive methods of public engagement are adopted in the design and planning of spaces/ policies, while promoting the integration of participatory design in design education and practice.

WHAT OUR PARTNERS HAVE TO SAY
March 2020
These (methodology) tools have changed the way I thought about engagement and even ‘serious’ research.
You have so much to offer – may many public service officers come to see participatory methods as an
integral way to reach
far and wide.
