Diverse perspectives can solve big challenges.

Each design team is carefully assembled based on participants’ skills and preferences, and are composed of professionals and students from across the Baltimore-DC region.

Seasoned design coaches, experts, and Neighborhood Design Center facilitators are on hand to offer guidance. Designers are sure to leave with newfound knowledge and connections to enhance their own work.
