Meet Firsthand (formerly Nucleus Impact)—a collective focused on crafting novel solutions for complex challenges faced by underserved communities. We are a global team of designers, behavioral scientists, anthropologists, and communications specialists that weave research and design together in search of new possibilities. Our name is a testimonial to our approach of listening and creating firsthand - allowing people to explain the world they experience in a way that honors them as subjects in their life, not objects of data. A people-first approach ensures that we can delve deep into communities to understand human behavior and explore wide possibilities to create positive, sustainable change.
