Who is Studio From There?

About.

Studio From There is founded by Sam van der Horst. As From There, Sam explores the connections between design theory and practice to help shape meaningful futures. Sam uses a hands-on and open approach, embedding himself in the context to question assumptions and uncover deeper insights.

Collaboration is at the heart of From There. Designing with people, not for them, striving to merge diverse perspectives and foster shared understanding. By creating tools that embody and make these perspectives tangible, From There aims facilitate meaningful connections and collective action.

The design process at Studio From There is highly iterative, involving rapid cycles of creation and evaluation. Each iteration serves as an opportunity to reflect, refine, and uncover new directions within the design space. This dynamic approach not only accelerates learning but also opens up possibilities that might otherwise remain hidden.

Guided by the complexity of transformation, From There explores the past and present to navigate possibilities for the future. Understanding historical contexts allows us to question fundamental assumptions and address the tension between deeply rooted values and their operationalization in today’s systems. Through this approach, From There creates experienceable futures that guide change in collaboration with all involved.

Studio From There is about designing tools, systems, and experiences that make transformation tangible, empowering organizations and communities to embrace new possibilities. If you're looking to explore sustainable, inclusive futures, let’s work together to bring them to life.
