ABOUT BUTTERFLY WORKS

BUTTERFLY WORKS, A SOCIAL DESIGN STUDIO

We are creative minds who use design for social change. We work in emerging economies because we believe in undiscovered potential. Through serious media, social branding and experiential learning we share knowledge, trigger creativity and build sustainable businesses.

We call it a positive chain of events.

Founded in 2000 with the advent of a digital design school for youth from the informal settlements, called Nairobits. 10 years later NairoBits is a fully fledged institute and Butterfly Works has gone on to utilize all she learnt from that amazing start up, to further develop her own methods of co-creation, design products and media programs which contribute to the greater good of people and planet.

The work at Butterfly Works can safely be called eclectic in its range from consumer social product design and distribution to the development of digital and mobile educational materials and learning environments.

Yet there is a common thread in all these works, in their innovative nature, their adherence to quality, their respect for everyone in the chain of events involved and possibly most importantly the centrality of the end user in the design process.

Butterfly Works invents, designs, and implements social events and so doing connects people, businesses and organisations always building a positive chain of events. Butterfly Works initiates projects and provides sustainable answers to international social issues.

In short Butterfly Works is an inspirational creation company with partners and clients all over the world that are intertwined with a deeply rooted sense of global justice. If it is still not clear, please look at our programs and projects as it all becomes clear in the practice You can follow us on twiiter @butterflyworks or via our blog @ butterflyworks.wordpress.com
