PIECE Studio is a socially-based collaborative design studio who is committed to using design for good. We engage in and with communities, organizations, activists, governments and municipalities and have run projects and workshops that promote social justice and community empowerment internationally. We dedicate our lives to helping the underserved and use our skills to make the world a better place for everyone.
