Introduction to Redemptive Design
Our foundation is your God-given purpose.
At the heart of Seed’s approach becoming a Redemptive Influence is Redemptive Design – an innovative process that connects formation with design.
Redemptive Design draws deeply from disciplines such as Human Centred Design, Social Innovation, Agile methodologies, and Asset Based Community Development, but reframes them into an approach to design that puts your God-given purpose at the foundation of the design process.
Formation — The process of aligning who we are becoming with who God made us to be.
Design — Participation in change that aligns with God’s purposes.
