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.

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 have a platform for sharing these stories, both within our community and with the world. 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.
