Design Circle

The Design Circle is a collaboration of design leaders working together to drive positive impact on business, society, innovation, culture and design careers.

This group will provide leadership insights, valuable content, and advocacy on industry issues that matter most to designers and teams. These will be featured in authored pieces and webinars on this site, and at community events. We also strive to create more visibility for design as a career path and opportunities for youth entering the field, and have launched a scholarship and mentoring initiative to support this goal.
