About Convergence Design Lab

Convergence is a woman-owned agency based in Chicago, IL and Asheville, NC. We are a team of creative folks who are used to combining design and play with the principles of good learning.

Meet the team

We bring decades of experience, a strong understanding of learning theories, and a desire to help you see challenges as opportunities for innovation.

OUR BELIEFS

Equity is an Active Practice

We foster collaboration to break barriers and advance equity for communities historically impacted by systemic racial, gender, and economic inequities. With an equity mindset, we challenge exclusionary practices, examine assumptions, and envision transformative change.

Learning is Social

We deeply believe in the fun, joy, and engagement of learning. We know that good learning is social. It’s engaging, experiential, interactive, and oriented toward opportunity and applied practice. It can take many forms but always leads to agency and empowerment.

Expertise Can Always Grow

We embrace continuous learning, designing innovative experiences rooted in socio-cultural theories like connected learning, liberation education, design thinking, and communities of practice. Our goal is to create socially situated, purpose-driven learning approaches.

Everyone Participates

Leadership is about fostering environments where every voice is valued. In both our design and research processes, we prioritize inclusivity, empowering those closest to the work and bringing forward diverse, authentic perspectives.

The online modules [Convergence Design Lab] designed engage our audiences through the use of video and animation that make concepts come to life. I couldn’t ask for better thought partners to design our content.
