Research

We believe in rooting our research in human-centred design and community knowledge. We dive deep into a problem to answer critical questions, uncover meaningful insights, and turn insights into action.

Overview

By starting with the ‘why’ and thinking through broad questions, we can take on anything from social research to brand audits. We use a range of proven processes, from design sprints to co-creation workshops, to help our clients uncover answers to challenging problems. As you embark on a new challenge, we will work with you to define a clear roadmap, design an intuitive experience, and establish solutions for both short-term advantages and long-term success.

DrawHistory's approach to Research

We’ve honed our research methodologies with hundreds of collaborations over the last half decade, tackling everything from violent extremism to racial discrimination. We’ll delve deep into the problem you’re facing, but always with the utmost care and compassion for the communities you work with.

To figure out where you are today, where you want to go in the future, and what you need to do to get there, we’ll facilitate collaborative, in-depth conversations with your team, stakeholders, and/or communities.

To dig deep into your problem and generate real insights and perspective, we’ll facilitate in-depth 1:1 interviews with relevant stakeholders or communities.

As storytellers at heart, we’ll transform even the most detailed insights, results, and data into a cohesive narrative for your team. We’ll then continuously hone the outcome with collaborative feedback until you have exactly what you need to move your work forward.
