A one-day, in-person design-a-thon.

This annual event connects local nonprofits with talented creatives.

Together, we find clever solutions to design challenges and contribute to Baltimore’s social change movement.

Pro bono design for nonprofits.

Powerful things happen at DesignFest. When nonprofits strengthen their visual identity, public presence, and communication, they strengthen their impact.
