Our Journey
Untill Feburary 2020, design was never a visible or accessible skill to discover at Columbia University. We formed a team of design-driven students and faculty and launched Design Day. Over 150 students join us throughout the two days, demonstrating the want and need for a space to learn and build design skills.
