Design is everywhere
Whether it is architecture, fashion design, graphic design, industrial textile design (and more!), EVERYTHING IS DESIGNED! From the phone you’re holding, to the logo on your shirt, and the sidewalk you walk everyday.
We are providing access to design through fun (and educational) experiences in communities and neighborhoods of Philadelphia.

Everyone is a designer, solving problems and making an impact
We are a platform to nurture every designer, as an individual and as a collective–young, multi-generational, emerging, current, past, educated, trained, professional, veteran, future, and beyond.
It’s through creative problem solving that we innovate and make an impact, small and big changes!
Become a designer or a design advocate, you choose
We want to open the door to the world of design by making things, taking walks, playing, or talking about stuff with professionals or peers.
You came as you are, and we will be there to embrace it and welcome you!
