So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish!

2023 was our final year of business. Smith Assembly closed in late-December.

Many heartfelt thanks to our wonderful clients, community, nonprofit partner, and co-creators who helped us bring this company to life and supported us along the way.

Purpose & Impact Always Drove Us

We’re proud to have donated 5% of our annual revenue to our nonprofit partner OAXIN, participated in 1% for the Planet, and been a Certified B Corporation™.

In 2023, Liz volunteered 35.5 hours to: • help faciliate Busy Bs (a group for female and nonbinary CEOs of Canadian B Corps); • lead an interactive session at Versatackle’s ‘Understanding Neurodiversity’ event; • support the organizers of MIT D-Lab's forthcoming IDDS Ayuuk 2024 (a multi-week international development design summit to be held in Oaxaca Mexico); and • serve as one of the judges of McElhanney’s first internal innovation contest.

The world so far has been designed to benefit a select few. Smith Assembly teaches purpose-driven organizations how to revolutionize their design and development practices. Our participatory and co-creative approach centers the people who build, use, and are affected by a product or program. This results in organizations that disrupt the status quo and deliver exceptional offerings for their stakeholders and humanity. Smith Assembly's ultimate purpose is to co-create practices that enable as many people as possible in the world to thrive.
We respectfully acknowledge that we're headquartered on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples including the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We're grateful to live, work, and play here and value our relationships with their lands.
