On our theme...

theme.png

At its core, Empowering Design encompasses how we, as human beings, interact with art, design, and technology. Whether through user friendly interfaces or accessible design or representative iconography, design should seek to connect and resonate with people and their needs, to spark moments of joy and confidence, and to seamlessly integrate into our daily lived experience.

Our workshops will center around this theme, as we design for a more inclusive and representative future.
