To make meaning is to bridge the gap between the attributes you have on offer, and where people are.

We work with communities at sense making workshops, to understand attributes of stories, places, spaces, and prototypes, to support:

Packaging and Service Design.

Documentary Photography.

Social Product Design.

Project Management.

Book Design.

Yoruba Heritage Trail and Mural Project

At OsanNimu, it is a privilege to be part of the team delivering this programme, led by @culturetree. As design strategists, we provide a Design Thinking Framework to facilitate the participatory research process and ensure meaningful outcomes for the Yoruba Heritage Trails and Mural Programme.

Collaborating closely with @culturetree, students, creative practitioners, and other stakeholders, we facilitate city-making conversations. We engage with people, artists, and multidisciplinary designers to share their perspectives through Yoruba-inspired visual artifacts and to test various approaches. Our goal is to help cultivate participatory research that prompts dialogue and fosters creative community engagement.

Together with @culturetree and the project team—including @pollyalakija, @tcseastdulwich, @mayorofldn, @mayor_of_southwark, @sappiltba, @klosscaptures, @artbyseun, @coleabraham, @genesis.archived, @merinelias.art, @dejirozay_, @omj.arts, @createdbybolly, and @bayobrahms—this programme is dedicated to driving community-centered change through creativity and inclusive participation.

 We build a practice of questioning into our work with you by flipping goal statements into questions.

  • Ask: “How might I or we do?” instead of “I or we want to do.”

    “The How might we template was first introduced by Procter & Gamble in the 1970s and adopted by IDEO. The technique has become popular in design thinking and is used by design teams worldwide.” - Nielsen Norman Group.

What people say about OsanNimu.

“I love photos 2 & 3 particularly- out of a kind of warm darkness, rich with concentration, cooperation and care, new ideas are emerging.”
