Kitestring

Exploring modern community and friendship to find new ways to strengthen the ties that matter most.

YOU KNOW THE PEOPLE.

The one’s who’ve stuck around through thick and thin. You’ve got dumb jokes that won’t die. You’d do anything for them, as they would for you. They’re part of what makes life worth living.

OR MAYBE YOU DON’T.

All of us have less of these people than we did twenty years ago, and 1 in 4 of us don’t have any close connections at all.

It’s because we’ve changed as a society. We live in suburbs. We move further. Work more. We’re more connected through new technologies, but we’re forming weaker links than ever.

KITESTRING IS A JOURNEY

from design research to social enterprise. We’re harnessing the same creativity and ingenuity that has changed our society to imagine new communities, services, and ideas to build stronger friendships.

1 in 4 adults have no close people.
