Partnering with Communities to Reimagine Cities, Systems & Stories. We center community agency, remap power structures, and co-design initiatives.
Sisu is a Finnish word that describes a deep, inner strength—a quiet persistence in the face of adversity. It means showing up with grit, heart, and clarity, especially when the path is uncertain.
For us, SISU is a commitment to liberation, creativity, and radical care. It’s the refusal to give up on community, on justice, or on our right to dream new systems into being.
We connect practice with power.
Community visions guide real strategies, policy, and systems change.
We heal and unlearn.
We root planning in transformative justice, meaningfully weaving healing into processes and outcomes.
