ABOUT GD

We help you imagine and design new collaborative networks to unleash opportunities for your ideas, products, technologies and policies that accelerate social change.

GD is a social design practice creating a more regenerative, just and caring future. Our services combine systems mapping, participatory design and ecosystem building. Original thinkers, we are a group of interdisciplinary professionals who deeply care about our world and mindfully challenge established patterns. We work with changemakers in companies, governments, international organizations, non-profits, foundations, research institutions, cities and communities. Our work transforms collaborations and brings together public and private resources while creating shared benefits for stakeholders, communities and ecosystems over a long term.

Based in Geneva, Switzerland, GD was founded by Barbara Bulc in response to a growing need to foster urgent systems transformation. Multiple crises present a unique opportunity to profoundly reimagine our values and relationships with inner selves, each other and nature.

Our non-profit, SDG Colab, is an experimental collaboratory focused on design and research of new social arrangements for wellbeing of people and the planet. We are part of an emerging community of practitioners, scholars, artists and interdisciplinary collectives who are passionate to create a world where wellbeing is prioritized over unlimited economic growth.
