Our Work
Creative Co-Design
Bespoke workshops for complex, values-led challenges
At TABA, we design and facilitate bespoke creative co-design sprints, workshops and activities for Design Thinking processes that help diverse groups make sense of complexity together.
Our co-design practice focuses on the early, generative stages of complex challenges, when problems are still messy, perspectives are fragmented, and shared understanding has not yet formed. This is where creative, participatory approaches can unlock insight, trust and momentum that more conventional methods often miss.
We work with designers and non-designers creating structured yet playful spaces where different forms of knowledge can be brought together, respected and translated into meaningful action.
Our process
Our workshops are designed, not templated.
Each co-design experience is tailored to its context, participants and purpose.
We draw on years of experience that brings together:
- Storytelling and narrative framing to help people articulate experience, values and futures
- Games and playful provocations to lower barriers, encourage experimentation and shift power dynamics
- Worldbuilding and speculative methods to explore uncertainty and imagine alternatives
- Visual thinking and mapping to externalise complexity and support collective sense-making
The result is a collaborative process that is rigorous without being rigid, and playful without being superficial.
What these processes enable?
Creative co-design is not about consensus or “nice conversations”. It is about doing meaningful work together.
Through these processes, teams are able to:
- develop shared understanding across disciplines and cultures
- surface assumptions, tensions and values that often remain implicit
- navigate uncertainty without rushing to premature solutions
- generate ideas, principles and directions that feel collectively owned
- move from ambiguity to clarity in a way that builds trust and commitment
- two-way learning and ownership of the process
Where this practice is most effective
Our creative co-design practice is particularly suited to contexts where:
- challenges are complex, systemic or contested
- lived experience and local knowledge matter
- culture, identity or place play a significant role
- there is no single “expert” answer
- long-term change requires shared ownership
This includes community-led initiatives, sustainability and environmental work, policy-adjacent contexts, education, health, and public-interest projects.

Our co-design practice emphasizes the early, generative stages of complex challenges, when problems are still messy, perspectives are fragmented, and shared understanding has not yet formed. This is when creative, participatory approaches can unlock insight, trust, and momentum that more conventional methods often overlook.
We collaborate with both designers and non-designers to create structured yet playful spaces where different forms of knowledge can be brought together, respected, and translated into meaningful action.

Collective Creative Action goes beyond mere consensus or pleasant discussions; it's about engaging in meaningful work together. Through these creative design services, teams can: develop a shared understanding across disciplines and cultures, surface assumptions, tensions, and values that often remain implicit, navigate uncertainty without rushing to premature solutions, generate ideas, principles, and directions that feel collectively owned, transition from ambiguity to clarity in a manner that fosters trust and commitment, and embrace two-way learning and ownership of the process, much like the approach taken by Taba Design.
