Beyond our annual Festival, our year-round programming provides a platform for NYC’s diverse design talent, from students and emerging designers to seasoned professionals. Each program fosters connection, education, and inspiration — empowering the next generation to use design as a powerful tool for positive impact, and address the world’s most pressing needs.
