Abir challenges what is possible and tangibile at multiple scales from creating objects and experiences you can touch and feel to building infrastructure and platforms to elevate others. From time-limited to timeless, she masterminds work that breaks with expectation, plays with imagination, and generates meaning for individuals and institutions alike.

Abir’s approach is universal at all scales from designing objects to activating space to redirecting capital. Seven actions drive her design process:

Research

Understand what is.

Explore

Dream of what can be.

Prototype

Experiment at full scale.

Refine

Learn and improve in real time.

Amplify

Tell the story together.

Gather people, tools, and support.

Assemble

Honor personal and collective experiences.

"Abir has invented a design practice that radically departs from the design establishment. She works on her own terms by eschewing traditional distinctions between professional practice and social justice, art making, and urban development. She is forging a new paradigm for what design can mean and do. Driven by a sense of mission and agnostic of scale, she is as facile at making beautiful objects as equitable cities.”
