The next step in women's running shoes.
An excerpt from our recent work with @lululemon for Further, a multi-year research and development effort to find out how far female runners can go when they're given the resources and product innovation typically reserved for men.
Last week, ultrarunner Camille Herron (@runcamille) broke the men's 6-day distance world record and a slew of other world records in this very shoe.
The silos between Brand/Marketing and Product teams are breaking down and we're here for it.
Teams with distinct structures and sometimes conflicting goals have led to issues like inconsistent messaging, inefficient resource allocation, and hindered progress.
Our latest Applied article explores the benefits of bringing down the silos and the actionable steps to get there.

The internet belongs to all of us, but so many digital design decisions leave out the disability community. As part of our own (very-much-in-progress) journey into inclusive design, we wrote some essays about how we can all approach accessibility with more empathy – and creativity.

Scott created over 200 sculptures in a society that once assumed she couldn’t create anything.
She grew into a confident, internationally recognized artist—all while challenging beliefs about whose lives can be enriched by art and whose art can enrich the world.

Scott was largely mute and never gave interviews, so it’s hard to know the meaning of her work in her own words. But each invites its own interpretation; one piece, for example, is largely believed to be twins reaching for each other.

She wasn’t too interested in the classes—until a workshop with textile artist Sylvia Seventy. There, she fell in love with crafting sculptures by wrapping fabric around everyday objects.

After moving in with Joyce, Scott attended classes at the Creative Growth Art Center, an organization that advances inclusion for artists with developmental disabilities.
Scott, born with Down Syndrome and deaf from Scarlet Fever, lived in an isolating state institution for over three decades before her beloved twin Joyce advocated for her guardianship in 1985.
● Judith Scott (1943 - 2005)
Judith Scott transformed found objects into intricate cocoon-like sculptures that connected her to herself and the world in ways that words never could.
