United Nations and Slow Factory Launch ONExONE Fellowship

Custom Collaborative is selected for the One X One first-of-its-kind incubator project breeding cross-disciplinary collaboration to empower solution-based sustainable innovation. The program aims to address Circularity, Humanity and Renewable Technology through the lens of design, timeless beauty and empathy. The program was created to pair a scientist with a designer and support them in inventing a new way of creating, one that is Good for the Earth and Good for the People.

Designer Mara Hoffman and Custom Collaborative will join together to develop the work currently underway in our advanced training program and incubator. The goal of this partnership is to provide a case study for scaling the initiatives that both create job opportunities, which further women's economic advancement, and contribute to circular models.
