Civilization

Civilization is a design practice in Seattle, USA founded by Michael Ellsworth, Corey Gutch and Gabriel Stromberg. Check out our catch up with them below. EM: What is Civilization’s studio ethos? C: One thing that has always resonated with us is something that Milton Glaser said when we were interviewing him about his ‘It’s Not Warming, It’s Dying’ climate campaign, he said “The designer’s role is the role of good citizenship” and we truly take this to heart in our studio’s work. When we started Civilization we decided that our business and our personal ethics didn’t have to be mutually exclusive – we wanted our values reflected in our work. Ultimately our goal is to be citizen designers.
