about us.
Design Professional, we WELCOME you.
The design community influences our environment and allows us to experience the visual, audible, tactile, emotional, and physical space. If your work engages these experiences we encourage you to connect with us!
We BELIEVE that as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) design professionals our voices are integral in the creation of our diverse environments.
We SUSTAIN a vibrant and strong BIPOC design community by providing valuable resources, dynamic events, and meaningful connections for our members.
We EMPOWER BIPOC design professionals, amplify our accomplishments, and inspire the next generation to reach their full potential.
