Overview

Make Fast Studio is a public-sector design and facilitation practice that helps organizations have safer, more productive conversations and turn insight into action.

ABOUT MAKE FAST STUDIO
THE CHALLENGE

Make Fast Studio’s work is rooted in deep expertise across public policy, facilitation, and human-centered design, but that depth didn’t always translate on the page. Complex ideas needed to feel editorial, accessible, and credible without losing nuance. The founder needed writing that reflected how she actually thinks and works, while meeting the expectations of public-sector audiences.

APPROACH + SOLUTION

We partnered closely with the founder to shape her thinking through writing, drafting and refining editorial pieces that translated lived experience into clear, grounded narratives. The focus was on structure, pacing, and tone—ensuring each piece supported the broader mission while staying practical, readable, and trustworthy.
