Doeth is an independent design studio based in Scotland, working across the UK and beyond. We explore how physical environments, digital technologies, services and systems shape people's health, wellbeing, safety and autonomy.
Through participatory research, design, and assurance, we help organisations remove barriers, anticipate harm, and make more inclusive, responsible decisions.
Research: understanding people's experiences, needs and the barriers they encounter.
Design and strategy: improving services, environments and the systems that shape them.
Design assurance: evaluating and reviewing designs, policies and decisions to identify risks, barriers and opportunities for improvement.
Doeth (pronounced "doyth") means wise in Welsh.
Our name reflects our founder's Welsh roots and a belief in thoughtful, grounded design. It reminds us to listen, look beyond the immediate problem and consider the wider world around us.
We bring experience across health and social care, financial services, government, culture and heritage, and the voluntary sector, notably the Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) sector.
Our work includes Lloyds Banking Group, the NHS, the Scottish Government, Thrive by Design, SafeLives, Police Scotland, the National Trust for Scotland and Iriss.
