Sara Cantor Email & Phone Number

I am a creative leader and human-centered designer focused on equity, belonging and social innovation.After spending seven years using human-centered design (HCD) to create new markets for corporate clients, I co-founded Greater Good Studio in 2011 to apply the process and principles of HCD to the more meaningful challenges of the social sector. My team of “pissed-off optimists" has helped nonprofits, foundations, government agencies and social enterprises to build internal capacity for innovation, create and prototype new programs and services, and sustain and scale their impact. My long-term goal is to alleviate the systemic sources of inequity that are present in our country. To this end, our portfolio spans fields as diverse as education, workforce development, housing, mental and behavioral health, community development, public safety and the arts. My love of design research translates to a practice focused on deep community engagement, asset-based design and a commitment to empowering clients and communities to co-create solutions to the challenges they face.

Listed skills include User Centered Design, Ethnography, Design Strategy, Design Thinking, and 22 others.
