Mission

Studio Sitara was founded in 2018 with the mission of driving a design practice that is rooted in vernacular design: design that honors local materials, local traditions, and most importantly, local needs. 

Studio Sitara is an independent, multifunctional design space. We believe in creating design solutions through a politically-sensitive, community-centric approach, reaching out to marginalized populations. 

All of our designs and tools are original, created to meet the unique contextual needs of the communities we work with. Design is a two way process: what we create influences the world around us just as the world around us influences our creations. Our aim is to take active responsibility-- in serving our communities by creating with them and for them.
