We are a network of people leveraging design to catalyze transformative actions.
Leap spans from the multidisciplinary work developed in India by the Design Laboratory at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (D-Lab) and the Transform Rural India Foundation under a seed investment provided by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
​
This work surfaced promising opportunities and a growing appetite to bring the D-Lab’s approach to fill a capability gap. Leap was created as a catalyst organization to build design capabilities and unlock latent potential in existing networks to promote the well-being of people and the planet.
Our team
We are a small team with big ambitions. We have different minds. We come from different walks of life. We speak different languages. We bring different skills. Our hearts are aligned: we are here to catalyze the well-being of people and the planet.
