Idea Society
now MethodKit →
The path from creativity to method.
Idea Society was a Swedish organisation founded in 2010 with one aim: to democratize creativity. We later became MethodKit, after deciding to focus on method development. Here is how the road ran, one project at a time.

One aim: democratize creativity.
The work becomes an organisation in Stockholm. The belief is simple: good ideas should not depend on who you know or where you trained.

Project of How
A searchable bank of creativity methods, the first of its kind to categorize and search methods on the web. Funded by the City of Stockholm, the Ministry of Culture and the EU. The question shifts from what to make to how to make it, and method development becomes the focus.

The tools that turn the how into something repeatable. Idea Society became MethodKit, and method development has been the main focus ever since.
