Community First Approach
Our commitment to putting communities at the center of our design process.
We are Community First.
Our approach centers on the belief that communities know best what they need to thrive. Equity Design is a Minority/Women Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) whose mission and core values serve as the template for how our organization moves, strategically.
We are mission driven and operate as a social purpose business that uses physical activity to help change lives and shape behaviors. We invest in the health of under-served communities through the design of physical activity programs using data and an equity lens to shorten the gap between health, wealth and life expectancy.

Our Core Values
We understand how people move and customize physical activity programming to help communities combat health disparities. By applying an equity lens to the design and implementation of physical activity, it puts communities in the driver's seat, because although two communities experience the same health disparity, each of those communities move differently.
Community First
At the core of our values is community and at the forefront of our business is the health of each of our underserved communities.
Investment in Healthy Partnerships
Investing in our stakeholders & developing a supportive network for employees, vendors and community partners through authenticity, respect & an open mind.
High Accountability
Demonstrate accountability through the efforts, support and results needed to deliver on each of the goals we commit to
Inspire & Embrace Change
Continue to stay in touch with best practices, research, trends and technologies so that we can strengthen our interactions with our communities.
Challenge the status quo
It isn't business as usual at Equity Design. We ask ourselves if we are using the most innovative approach and solution possible to have the greatest impact and positive outcome we are seeking.
Serve with Empathy
Understanding the needs of the individuals and communities we serve through our work; allowing us to learn and gain insight from their perspectives.
