GIG Design helps people make meaningful change that sticks with a time-tested methodology. It factors in everything about you and your environment to enable you to feel in control. We’re a health consultancy owned and operated by occupational therapy (O.T.) practitioners committed to guiding clients towards their values, meaningful action, and a sense of fulfillment.

Our Story

Anita Joy Edwards enhanced the quality of life for patients during their recovery in healthcare settings. She quickly recognized environments had a strong grip on navigating progress.

Advocating for people's live and work environments led Anita to pursue a bachelors degree in industrial design. That, combined with an occupational therapy lens, led co-created products and living spaces with Anita guiding each client towards solving challenges involving working in the office, commuting, and accomplishments at home.

In 2012, a pivotal moment arrived when Bethany Aitkenhead joined forces with Anita, giving rise to GIG Design. Together, they refined GIG Design's framework and rigorously tested their methodology. GIG Design’s team began to expand by 2015.

This evolution and growth has been driven by a shared commitment to improving lives through thoughtful design and meaningful, client-led solutions.

GIG Design became a fieldwork provider in partnership with the University of Southern California in 2015. Our roster of clients range between individuals to small businesses from coast to coast within the United States.
