We are living through a time of great consequence. It is up to each of us to consider which path we will walk and how we are called to transform, as individuals, institutions and groups.

We can’t do this alone. At Desire Lines we believe in the power of collaboration and critical-friendship to help us all face an uncertain future, with integrity.

Desire Lines are a cross-disciplinary practice guiding the transformation of places, communities, and organizations towards thriving futures.

Led by Founding Director Sarah Ichioka, we work in constellation with a curated network of experts whose values match – and expertise complements – our own. This deliberate assembly allows us to craft solutions that singular organizations often cannot achieve.

We work alongside leaders from the public, private and nonprofit sectors, serving as discerning guides in “building the road by walking” between current and desired conditions.

Our work takes different forms depending on the context. This currently ranges from designing new programs to shift systems, developing strategies that unlock cultural and spatial potentials, and drawing out expressions of collective imagination.
