experiential design

for humans

SPECIALITIES

  • Every industry could use a bit more human-ness. After all, every business is made up of humans and for humans.

    We take a multi-disciplinarian approach to finding out the “why” and testing out the “how.”

    Whether you build widgets to sell, services to deliver or gather humans together to make great things happen, Social Studies Lab can maximize your efforts.

    Allow Social Studies Lab to help you achieve innovative change through experimentation, testing and implementing.

  • Social Studies Labs presents live social experiment events!

    We create unique live experiences like a 3-night light festival for the streets of Calgary. Plus more intimate events like a nostalgic record listening party or “how-to” solve your social problem using the DnD game mechanics with your own Dungeon Master.

    We design spaces to explore, experiment, ask questions, take risks, have fun and impact change.

    We create explorative human experiences. We’re here to incite delight!

Social Studies Lab helps others explore, test & build bold new ideas, delivering impactful social experiences.
