design for what’s unfolding

relational design for the in-between

Meanwhile Methods is a relational design studio working with people and organizations who are navigating change that cannot be solved through optimization alone. The work here focuses on the design of relational structure, sense-making, and lived experience, especially in moments where direction is unclear and stakes are real.

Rather than offering answers or prescriptions, we design relational structures, decision-making conditions, and ways of orienting that support durable change from the inside out. Consulting, facilitation, writing, and advising are forms the work may take. Design is the discipline that holds it.

We work with people and systems facing real stakes, unclear paths, and the need for relational integrity while something new is forming.
