How We Work

How we collaborate, make decisions, and approach the practice of building thoughtful content.

ReGrowth is a small, collaborative enterprise. We design digital content rooted in fat liberation, social justice, and care for the people who engage with our work.

We make decisions thoughtfully and ask questions to the community, to ensure we address community needs. We believe that how something is made matters as much as what it says, and that the best learning comes from honesty.

How we work together

We are a small team, and that is intentional. This allows us to be passionate, responsive, honest, and deeply involved in the work we produce.

Collaboration at ReGrowth is built on open discussion and shared responsibility. We don’t have rigid hierarchies or structures. Instead, we respect the different expertise each person brings, whether that’s subject matter knowledge, learning design, editorial craft, or technical implementation.

Our working principles

These are our practical commitments which shape how we approach every project, conversation, and decision at ReGrowth.

We design with care and curiosity

Every learning experience begins with genuine questions. We listen before we build, and we stay curious throughout the process.

We question assumptions

We question what we think we know about learners, about fat oppression, about what “good” education looks like.

We Prioritise learning over perfection

We iterate, revise, and grow. We would rather release something honest and improve it than wait for something flawless that never arrives.

We build things that are useful and accessible

Accessibility is not an afterthought. We design for diverse bodies, minds, and circumstances from the very beginning

We stay accountable to our community

Feedback shapes our practice. When we get it wrong, we listen, acknowledge, and change. Accountability is ongoing, not performative.

How We Make Decisions

When a decision needs to be made, we start with open discussion. Everyone involved shares their perspective. We listen to the person with the most relevant expertise, whether that’s lived experience, pedagogical knowledge, or technical understanding.

When perspectives differ, we return to a simple question: what serves the learner best? The learner experience and the project’s goals are our compass.

How We Work With Partners

Open communication

We share our thinking, our process, and our uncertainties. We’d rather be honest about a challenge than pretend everything is seamless.

Iterative design

We build in stages, sharing work early and often. Feedback is not a final step, it’s woven into the entire process.

Transparency

We are upfront about timelines, capacity, and costs. If something isn’t working, we’ll say so, and we expect the same in return.

Shared ownership

The best outcomes come from genuine partnership. We bring our expertise, you bring yours, and the work belongs to both of us.

We are building something slowly and with intention. Not because slow is always better, but because the work we do — learning about oppression, unlearning bias, growing toward justice — deserves time, care, and honesty.

If that resonates with you, we’d love to hear from you.
