Welcome: EDI helps organizations using a collaborative approach that integrates multiple perspectives within a single design process resulting in solutions that are more than the sum of their parts. This single design process, that we call charettes, are intense, highly focused, short term events that are able to condense months of work into a shorter time frame while improving the viability and quality of the design solutions.

Approaching solutions through a design process can improve different types of organizations. EDI has assisted product development for small and large private companies, pure research and product development for government, education through curriculum development and real estate developers through site and building design.

EDI employs professionals from diverse backgrounds. Our team includes architects, engineers, scientists and psychologists. We also incorporate leading design professionals for projects with relevant perspectives and expertise, allowing us to respond to multiple issues with expertise and agility. The core team continuously conducts research into issues of sustainability through developing materials, building techniques and education. Learn more >>
