  • Exploring and supporting local agencies and organizations

  • Connecting and learning from other local artists, agencies, and creative businesses in the region

  • Educating and mentoring emerging designers

  • Discussing and exploring how we can use design to improve our communities

  • Cultivating a diverse and inclusive network of designers
