Collaborative design for collective liberation.

Design is a collaborative process. Participation is the foundation.

Lemon Papaya is a research-driven design consultancy visioning the built environment through the lens of ecological, social, and cultural interdependence. We co-create spaces that are inclusive, resilient, and rooted in justice. Our design solutions are pathways toward equity, belonging, and liberation.

Our Services

We firmly believe that when we bring people together, we thrive; so we design spaces that do just this.

Lemon Papaya operates from a place of compassion, vulnerability, rest, and joy. We are invested in supporting ‘human being’ not ‘human doing.’

From our process to our outputs, we actively break from systemic patterns of living, conscious and not, to create spaces that embody and facilitate liberation.
