How do you prepare yourself for the future of education?

Crosscut Studio is a unicorn in the field of education. With decades of experience in design thinking, curriculum development, digital learning production, and business strategy, we are uniquely positioned to help you design the educational experiences of the future.

Education is rapidly evolving. Traditional approaches struggle to keep pace with our changing world, leaving millions seeking new ways to learn and grow.

The distinction between “digital education” and traditional learning is fading as technology becomes integral to our thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. Approaches to teaching and learning have diversified and expectations for students of all ages have both risen and shifted. The COVID pandemic pushed institutions into technological and instructional territory faster than anyone thought possible—and faster than most were prepared for. 

Meanwhile, the rising costs of formal education are pushing many to explore alternative, more accessible learning opportunities. 

These fast-moving waters have brought education to an inflection point. Students know it; we see the shift in the programs they seek and choose. Universities and educational institutions know it, too, but are unsure how to stay afloat in the rising tide. 

Our clients come to us with the desire to get ahead of this technological, instructional, and cultural shift by designing their educational offerings for the future, rather than a quickly fading past.

At Crosscut Studio, we guide teams in the creation of human-centered, digitally savvy learning experiences that anticipate future trends in education and meet learners’ evolving needs.

At Crosscut Studio, we specialize in turning your educational aspirations into successful ventures. With deep empathy and expertise, we collaborate closely with your team to understand your unique vision, challenges, and budget.

Through rigorous research and thoughtful analysis, we uncover the true needs of your learners and study them alongside current research and trends in education. From there, we innovate and ideate creative solutions that meet your learners aspirations and succeed in the marketplace.

At Crosscut we offer solutions for every stage of your educational project:

  • Creation of complete maps for your learning product

“Crosscut Studio’s approach to strategy and learning design immediately countered some of my key assumptions about the field; without their guidance, I would have embarked on investing in a digital course that would have been very expensive to produce and maintain, and also would have been heavy and quickly outdated. Working with the Crosscut team was an absolute pleasure – they are upbeat, super smart, and tapped into the field of digital education in a way that most nonprofits are not.”
