At designEDengagement, PBC (DE), we are more than just an education consulting firm – we are a catalyst for change, a force that believes in the power of connections to make an impact. Established in 2019 as a Latina-owned venture, our journey began with a vision to bridge the gaps and bring together the vital elements that shape students' futures: families, educators, and communities.Our foundation rests on the conviction that every student, regardless of their background, deserves a seat at the table where their dreams and aspirations are nurtured. We understand that education is not a solitary pursuit; it's a collaborative endeavor that involves the collective efforts of all stakeholders. With this at our heart, we've embarked on a mission to support families, educators, and community members to develop deeper connections.

Our identity is encapsulated in our logo, a fusion of the Sigma and Fibonacci symbols. The Sigma symbolizes the technical precision that underpins our research and analysis, while the Fibonacci symbol represents the adaptive approach we take in designing equitable systems. It's a testament to our commitment to blending the art and science of education.
