What we believe in
We believe that empathy-based approaches have changed the course of history and opened new opportunities.
What we do
We offer human-centred design thinking programs that are contextualised to stakeholders' environment. We explore general challenges through empathy, analyse and synthesise them in smaller specific terms. We ideate and qualify a folio of potential solutions and iteratively field-test them to learn and improve.
"We aim to develop and foster new ways of thinking"
We offer mentorship programs to the young people at critical crossroads in their career journey. Our programs focus on the transition from schools to academic life and from university to professional life.
our Approach
We use the design thinking approach in all what we do, including our mentorship programs. This non-linear, iterative and reflective approach provides us with deeper insights to appreciate the task at hand and offers us a wide range of opportunities to implement effective human-centered solutions.

The objective of the program is to generate a pool of feasible, viable and desirable prototypes that can be field-tested. It is the first step towards a possible solution to address the challenges previously identified in program eXplore.

About Us
pharaonico is a collective of engineers, educators, designers and business professionals. We collaborate to discover the mystery of opportunities and unseen potentials to unleash little initiatives that make the big impact. We are not afraid to fail, because when we do (and we will), we fail quickly and cheaply. We reflect and learn from our experience. We iterate and start again from a much better position. We continue our journey collaboratively with passion and confidence until we achieve our objectives.
