Made Manifest leads transformational service design projects.

Change is good. Change is hard. Ideas are great, action is even better.

So much of our life is mediated by services. When they’re good, things click, things work, other important things can happen. When they’re not, the opposite. So why don’t things just... work?

We know how important it is, and how complex it can be, to create better experiences. Our approach is different because that’s what it takes to make change manifest.
How can we move beyond interesting ideas and into action & implementation?
How can we get over the inertia of “the way things have always been done?”

We lead, we support, we coach, we teach—and sometimes we do all of these at once.

Linn’s tenacity, thought leadership and service design excellence was monumental in uncovering critical customer and organizational challenges. Working with Linn was an every day learning experience because of her deep and diverse expertise of design methodology. What more, it’s always a joy to work with Linn because of her passion for collaboration and belief in the value of partnerships.

Product Marketing at TELUS
In my time working with Linn, she demonstrated leadership, strategic thinking, and perhaps most importantly, empathy. I've never met anyone so dedicated to the art and craft of design, while at the same time being a great coach and mentor. I learned a lot about what it takes to lead a team from her, and am happy to say we still keep in touch to this day.

I just wanted to say it was truly a joy to be part of all of your classes. The energy and passion that you brought to each class was amazing and always lifted the energy of the room. I’ve learned so much from you by just observing how you conduct the room, provide valuable feedback and ultimately empowered us throughout the course.

Service & Interaction Design at RBC
Linn has a fantastic capacity for watching an organization and its design challenges closely, absorbing each detail, before carefully articulating a rigorous approach that pokes in exactly the right places and doesn't avoid the difficult questions. The result: insights and design you can trust deeply.

What our clients are saying about us.

01.
Michael Huynh
Director of Professional Conduct, ICCRC
"Linn is an impressively effective service design professional. Her thoughts and approach to the topic are, in one word, edifying. She diligently prepared and deftly executed on a workshop (a design sprint) that meaningfully engaged our team, helped build alignment, and kept us focused on tackling our main problem. Our team’s joint efforts resulted in clear solutions with actionable next steps. I find just working with Linn offers you an opportunity to revisit the structure of meetings and open your eyes to what can be done to foster shared critical thinking and buy-in, particularly when working with teams remotely."
