MenuThe people and the practice
A founder’s perspective. A designer’s curiosity. A builder’s instinct to make something real. This is the practice behind Lollygig.

Not just the thinking.
The work of making it happen.
Lollygig brings the perspective of a founder and builder to your next challenge. Since 2010, the studio has connected research, strategy, design, and execution across client work, its own products, and emerging ventures.
The experience that shaped the studio
Before Lollygig, Laaté led the team at Steelcase that reframed a third-place exploration into the membership-based venture strategy behind Workspring and 654 Croswell. Turnstone followed as a separate engagement within the ventures group.
His design research and strategy work at Mayo Clinic helped establish a lasting belief: meaningful experiences can serve people and make business sense.
How we work
Research, imagination, and execution belong together. We stay connected to the work from understanding the challenge to making real progress.
