Our people and our name
Guided by compassion and a drive to improve professional practices and results, we are a community of designers, researchers, and coaches with lived experiences in a variety of industries. Inspired by the phrase If there is no wind, take the oars, Remos Collective takes its name from the Latin word for oars. The phrase reminds us that human ingenuity and perseverance can bring about progress even when conditions seem unfavorable. At Remos Collective, we believe meaningful progress comes not from waiting for conditions to improve, but from helping people move forward together.
