Mission

Athasa Collaborative’s mission is to help people establish new roots, by their direction, into a space that they can call home. It is in partnership that Athasa thrives. This in in partnership with residents of their homes as well as local housing nonprofits, retail stores, and creative entrepreneurs interested in supporting unsheltered communities in Seattle, Boston, and beyond. Through a trauma-informed design lens, the aim is to design with the client, not just for them, so that their autonomy and creativity is uplifted. the collaboration extends to all sides, supporting organizations doing the amazing direct work in the community so their space enhances their own well-being, too.

Empathy focused

I believe in the methodology of empathic design. I want to understand the client’s perspective and value their lived experience. The person is at the center of the design decisions.
