+ Why are we doing this?

We started The Greener Grass as a way to become part of the community. Our goal is to connect people that are doing and thinking interesting, progressive things and figure out how our skills can mesh with theirs to create a better future for all of us. Life is changing faster every day, and this is a way for us to learn more about how and why it’s changing.

+ What is it, exactly?

The Greener Grass combines interviews with experts with our analysis to uncover the common themes and trends within the seven topics we’ve decided to cover. From there, we draw on our experience as designers, engineers and strategists to create ideas for products and services that could make a positive impact.

+ Who are we?

The Greener Grass is a self-initiated project from Kaleidoscope, a design strategy and product development firm with offices in Cincinnati, New York, and Detroit. You can read more about the contributors below.
