Citizen Artist

Citizen Artist is a multidisciplinary design firm, working in interior and product design. We aspire to the ideal of using our capacity to create work whose process and product both effect positive change.

We embrace the axiom that good design makes the world a more beautiful place. We reimagine the traditional notion of designer as artist, expanding our perspective to a broader understanding of our role without compromising the core values of our art form. Through genuine exploration and collaboration, we see each commissioned project as an opportunity for empathetic engagement and response within our global network. We contribute to society through the built environment and the objects that occupy it in practical, evident, and sometimes small ways that truly respond to the needs of our clients and partners.

We perceive the process of design as inherently engaging, offering the possibility of creating new awareness, new understanding, new dialogue, and of encouraging in ourselves, our clients, and our collaborators alike, action on issues of resource, origin, health, choice, economics, and ecological and social impact. In this process we arrive at a mutual benefit of the work; the work expresses respect. It is our hope that peoples’ lives are affected.
