San Diego Design Week is almost here! From Sept 19-25th, we celebrate our regional design culture.

This year Design Week is part of something much bigger…the World Design Capital, a designation awarded to regions with great design. It’s a big deal, and we are honored to play a small part. As a board member of the Design Forward Alliance, Bryan has coordinated the first Industry Day as an annual theme for Design Week.

The theme focuses on issues that matter to professionals, from new techniques and technologies to the art of creating new futures. We also wanted to create a space to talk about hot topics that affect both practicing professionals and those seeking to enter industry. You can expect to hear a diversity of perspectives.

In this inaugural Industry Day, we have a great lineup. You can check out all the programs and RSVP on the SDDW website: https://sddesignweek.org/collection/industry-day/
