About Us.

 THE STUDIO

Indigo River is a NYC SBS Certified Woman-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE) committed to helping our society evolve together with our environment. Our work, often at the water's edge, responds to local conditions, yet retains universal values.

OUR VISION
​
We are faced with inconvenient truths: climate change, hyper-urbanization, and rising economic and social challenges. Transdisciplinary Design has the power to organize ideas, raise awareness, and enable action towards global goals. A vision for our future, one project at a time.

OUR MISSION
​
As we enter the Fourth Industrial Revolution, defined by technologies which fuse the physical, digital, and biological worlds, we believe that now, more than ever, a single idea can have a butterfly effect -- that each project can create global impact. It's what drives our mission to create sustainable, resilient, progressive solutions for tomorrow's world.
