We redesigned our office by asking a simple question: what do our people actually need?

The answer:

🍽️ A real place to eat lunch together

💻 Desks built for how they work

🎨 Creative tools they can find

Small, thoughtful changes make a huge difference in how people feel at work.

Stories change minds. Stories change systems.
So, when we design for people, how do we bring stories to life?

📣 Share people's actual words.

🚶🏾 Show the journey, not just problems.

💡 Highlight moments that matter.

🔎 Use clear visuals.

What if government benefits were approved in just ONE DAY?
MI residents can wait 20+ days for benefit approval. We partnered with Michigan's Department of Health and Human Services to see if we could make determinations faster. Result: Same-day decisions became possible. civilla.org/stories/one-...
