Partner (for potential partners)

The External Partnerships program at Parsons offers private companies, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies the unique opportunity to collaborate with emerging designers. The program has yielded a wealth of concepts and tangible work, including product labels for Kiehl’s Since 1851, store designs for Target,  JPMorgan intranet web applications, and, with the humanitarian group CARE, product-development workshops for traditional Mayan weavers (Ajkem’a Loy’a) in Guatemala.
