Designers don’t figure out the future alone.
DesignX brings designers, researchers, and design leaders together — through talks, dinners, workshops, a curated job board, and honest conversation about where the work is going.
What we make room for
Three ways to show up.
Slack threads, dinner tables, job notes, leadership rooms — gathered into three doors. Different formats, same reason: better conversations between people doing the work.
