We had the opportunity to travel to Seattle to present our research and findings from "Beyond One Size Fits All: Designing the Future of Non-Hormonal Contraceptives for Women," a multi-year project dedicated to amplifying women’s voices in creating accessible, effective contraceptive solutions.

This work would not have been possible without the extraordinary vision and guidance of Tracy Johnson and the team at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation @gatesfoundation. Tracy's leadership has been instrumental in driving this project forward and ensuring that women’s voices are at the heart of innovation in contraceptive design. Stay tuned as we continue to release more insights and data from this transformative project.

Women’s health innovations are so crucial to the future well-being of women and all communities. Gender Equality Design Labs is a @gatesfoundation project to take a human-centered approach to test hypotheses and establish a mechanism for regular feedback with communities of women in Africa. We kicked off with our design team in Nigeria earlier in the summer, collecting primary design data, identifying emergent findings, gleaning insights, and recommending opportunity areas.

Catapult Design is a nonprofit social impact design agency. We research, design, and develop human-centered products and services to improve the lives of those who need it most. © 2024 Catapult Design.
