Our research into designing for health, sustainability, and technology.

smbw’s Design Forward scales sustainably-focused approaches to every-day Design. Through incremental change, we believe we can have a large impact on, and improved comprehension of, the surrounding environment. This approach helps project stakeholders make informed decisions that promote necessary ecological initiatives, wellness-centered initiatives, and building resilience in the face of arising challenges in the environment.

As designers who have a direct influence on the built environment, we believe it is our responsibility to engage, educate, and encourage clients to pursue case-driven and contextual sustainability solutions.⁠
