Public service design

Engine works with organisations to plan and run creative and collaborative projects to inform policy making and design better services.

We work with some great organisations including the NHS, local authorities, Government departments, NGOs, universities and charities; involving users, staff, managers and other experts in service design and co-production. We are a diverse team of designers, strategists, researchers and facilitators, able to work sensitively to help define the problem, understand the needs and co-create solutions.
