Recently the Catapult Design team and the Board Me

Recently the Catapult Design team and the Board Members came together for a Team Offsite in San Francisco, California. It was very exciting as it was the first time some of the team had met in person. We had amazing team activities like a Natural Dyeing Workshop with Margaret Seelie, a 2023-2025 Strategy Workshop with Marc Escobosa, and our Catapult Fall Board Meeting. #design #strategy #team

It’s a joy to see design come to life in new relationships, new skills, new mindsets, and new ideas made real. We have been working this past year with the Cone Health Innovation team and community partners - LOT 2540, Boys and Girls Club of Eden and NC100 to develop a custom and replicable design thinking process to support community-based design efforts. We thank them for welcoming us, learning with us and making this work happen. #design #health #healthinnovation #hcd
