Doeth Studio is a multi-disciplinary research and design practice. We are based in Scotland and Yorkshire.
Doeth means wise in Welsh. It reflects how we work, with care, clarity, and deep understanding.
We help organisations and communities make services, products, experiences, systems and strategies more equitable and sustainable.
We are guided by care, clarity and a commitment to equitable access and sustainable engagement for all communities.
Pre-discovery
Exploring priorities, defining the scope and ask, understanding needs, checking assumptions, and agreeing on how we will work together.
Discovery
Designing inclusive, ethical research and design approaches to understand what is happening and who is impacted.
Sense-making and strategy
Helping teams reflect on what they’ve learned, visualise patterns, and develop inclusive, practical, and place-based strategies.
Design and delivery
Co-designing services, tools, or change processes with the people most impacted. We also offer mentoring and facilitation support.
Reflection and evaluation
Building in feedback, learning, and accountability to understand what is working, what needs to change, and how to keep improving.
We use a wide range of methods and tools because inclusion doesn’t come from one approach.
We adapt what we use based on the people, needs, and contexts we are working with, drawing from our multidisciplinary background and skills.
These approaches support meaningful participation, empower and advocate for different communities’ needs, lived experiences and voices, and enable sustainable, proportionate change and improvement.
