## Job description

Our mission is to seek out areas of social need and policy failure and make transformational change using design and technology. We believe that government, organisations and businesses can be a force of good but there can be a gap between their understanding of, and ability to meet the expectations of those needing positive change. Our job is to use design, technology and production to narrow the gap between those with the power and responsibility to make a positive change, and those who need it.
