IQ Design Studio Lab Information

IQ Design is a studio-laboratory built on the philosophy of Un-Disciplined Design. We break free from traditional boundaries of design genres, methods, and contexts—allowing the research question, not the discipline, to guide the work. Our practice is driven by curiosity, adaptability, and a commitment to social responsibility. By exploring emerging possibilities and challenging conventional modes of thinking, we design with both innovation and impact in mind. Founded in 2021 by Dr. Anne Balsamo, IQ Design invites projects to experiment at the intersection of design, research, and real-world change.
