Necessary Projects are a class of challenges that directly influence social, economic, and environmental conditions.

Disrupting the status quo of the food industry, transforming the definition of wellness within the healthcare system, challenging the homogenous view of consumer taste in the electronics business, and bridging the technology gap within analog industries are all examples of Necessary Projects.

Necessary Projects impact critical systems.

Conceived of by Valerie Casey, globally recognized innovator and founder of the Designers Accord, Necessary Projects is a curated network of designers, business leaders, and academics working together in new ways to solve the most pressing challenges of our time.

Necessary Projects helps un-seed traditional ways of doing business, and equips teams with more relevant tools and perspectives to innovate in this age of constant change.

Necessary Projects is industry-specific and geographically agnostic.

Our engagements include both short-term interventions and long-term relationships. All projects are strategic in nature, and range from creating new products and services, to transforming organizational processes and behaviors. Our work is systems-oriented and results-focused.
