“You can’t be what you can’t see.” Marian Wright Edelman
We Design: People. Practice. Progress. brings together creatives from different backgrounds to examine and celebrate the range of career paths, applications, and impact in design. The exhibition features career stories showcasing how people have forged their unique paths into different creative professions; from graffiti artists and architects to civic designers and research scientists, We Design emphasizes the need for more diversity in the design and innovation fields, and highlights the importance of equity and inclusion in terms of generating ideas.

What I’m looking forward to about We Design is people getting a chance to see different faces and what design means. There are so many voices involved in this show, and I think what comes out of it is going to be really unbelievably beautiful.”
Every time Design Museum shows up in a new place, you’re exposing the world to something new…you’re opening doors for people who never thought that it was possible, or didnt even know what exists in the design industry.”
I think people just have a limited view of what a designer looks like and what a design path even is. Just being able to see different people is really important and helps to inspire. If people can see others that look like them, or have a similar background to them, then they can see themselves in design.”
