Advancing the public interest through knowledge sharing and collaboration


In the Midst of, Clearing the Mist

MIdST LABS is a research and design firm dedicated to advancing the public interest through knowledge sharing and collaboration.

We publicly co-create scalable and customizable frameworks for product and service design and offer research and design consultancy services for the public good.

Our Services

Refining and validating expert-driven insights through data-driven and community-based research.

Our Community

Developing a knowledge base by co-creating frameworks to advance the public interest.

Theory of Change

Starting from experts, we conduct user research, market research and service design activities to ensure that expert identified problems are effectively addressed by their proposed solutions.


Case Studies

While MIdST LABS offers research and design consultancy for specific projects,
we co-create generalizable, scalable design frameworks for the general public. We work alongside collaborators to adapt these value-aligned, interdisciplinary frameworks to contribute to our knowledge base.

Our Approach

Who We Are, Our Guiding Principles,
and Theory of Change.

The Myth of Objectivity

How does the researcher proceed when research cannot be done objectively?
