service design for systems change π«ππ±
About
π ππππππ!
hestia.co is a growing service design agency + digital arts space working on occupied treaty 13 territory.
we recognize the sovereignty of the Mississaugas of the New Credit, the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee, and the Huron Wendat nations that we live + work alongside while on land currently known as canada.
π π π πππ ππ πππππππ ππππππ πππ ππ’πππππ ππππππ.
we'reΒ creating a community of thinkers + tinkerers moved by collaboration, mutual aid, and civic justice.
informed by emergent strategyΒ and radical friendship,Β we'reΒ workingΒ to train, design with, and inspire people to invest in local systems change for their community.
π π'ππ πππππ ππ πππ πππππππ ππππππππ ππππ.
we believe rural + suburban communities need support for equitable citizen design as much as urban spaces do.
in addition to traditional agency work, our goal is to work with local nonprofits, municipalities, organizations, and nations towards methods of collectivist care.
π π πππ ππππππππ ππ’ ππππππ πππππ.
it is our intention to work for and with IB+POC, 2SLGBTQIAP, neuroatypical, crip + disabled folks living in this area, who often require spaces of gathering, affirmation, and community when living in a colonized society on occupied land.
so if you're a creator, an activist, a community member, or you just want to learn alongside us, we'd be humbled to have you join us.

we're building a community
+ we need your help.
hestia.co is looking to create a directory of creators working in the york region digital space.
this means artists, coders, designers, researchers, etc etc etc. basically, if your work can support organizing for systems change, we'd love to have you on board!
as an agency, we'd love to be able to call on creators for design work as needed ($ provided!). we'd also share this community with municipal planning and marketing agencies looking to support locally instead of outsourcing to larger agencies. we'd love to connect particularly with 2SLGBTQIAP+ and IB+POC, neuroatypical and disabled creators to grow an incredible network of folks working on occupied treaty 13 territory.
if you're a creator looking for a place to share your work, we're glad you found us! drop your info into the link below and we'll be in touch with you soon (P.S. let us know your feelings about using discord or slack to chat while you're at it!)
