Services

Made Manifest has a whole host of approaches that we use to find the answers.

We collaborate in a variety of ways, because each opportunity is different. We lead, we support, we coach, we teach—and sometimes we do all of these at once.

Who we work with.

We collaborate with clients who are looking to improve the way things work—be it a service that your audience engages with, or even the way your team itself works.

Because services are everywhere, transcending sectors, our clients come to us from across industries. We work in telecom, start-up tech, education, not-for-profit, arts & culture, health, and the public sector. What unifies our clients is a drive to make real change, an openness to explore, and mutual trust.

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.

Director of Design at Coactuate

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.

Karri Ojanen

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.

SPENCER BEACOCK

Principal at October Systems

In order to transform a service, you need to ask the right questions.

How can we get over the inertia of 'the way things have always been done?'

How can we learn and understand what people actually want?

How can we move beyond interesting ideas and into action?
