About Atutu
We are a global design studio that supports community-driven social change.
We collaborate with individuals and organizations to equip communities with tools and platforms to support envisioning, enacting, and sustaining equitable local development.
Our Story
Our story is about how a project — Co-create Change — morphed into something much greater. Co-Create Change began in 2017 as a solar-lighting project with a mission to promote local entrepreneurship and economic development in Myanmar. Since Atutu was founded, we have grown from a small group of UC San Diego students working on a solar-lighting project to a network of over 40 students, professionals, faculty, and community members from the U.S., England, Myanmar, India, Philippines, Indonesia, and Mexico.
