Design education for all
One of the guiding principles of DesignPhiladelphia is to make design accessible to everyone, so we are building a robust pipeline from K through Career. We are focused on bringing K-12 design education in underserved communities across Philadelphia. We also are cultivating a culture of belonging in partnership with our higher education partners and professional firms -- so that all students and emerging professionals can thrive and continue to grow as a designer.

We invite anyone to participate in industry-changing conversations and collaborations, making our physical space and metaphorical table open to all.
Learn more about how we are expanding our programming and our space to become a multidisciplinary design hub for all student and professional designers.

Philadelphia is a design city.
Philadelphia is a city fueled by design, blending heart and grit. The designers in this region possess immense expertise and talent that often goes unnoticed.

We recognize the innate desire of our design community to contribute to the creation of a more equitable, sustainable, and healthy city for all. Through our programs, we aim to highlight the invaluable role that designers play in the progress of our city and region.
