Become a D×D partner
Partnership in Diversify by Design is not business as usual. You’re part of a coalition, where many come together to achieve so much more than one organization can accomplish alone. It’s where lived experiences from those that have survived and thrived informs directionality; where programs that have been in place for decades are elevated and grown—rather than overshadowed, overlooked, or even worse, erased. It’s where gaps are filled and best practices are built upon in collaboration with those truly at eye level with the challenges that Black and Brown designers face across the design journey.

D×D’s two signature initiatives (to date) showcase the power of our coalition approach. And we’re just getting started.
AIGA Worldstudio D×D Scholarship Program
A scholarship program established to address the lack of diversity in the creative professions.
Ask Me Anything Event Series
Hear from professional designers about their journey to design, their experiences as a professional designer, the organizations they lead, or the things they create.
The results speak for themselves
Together, we can.
In just one year, D×D has accomplished what most organizations take years to achieve. The secret sauce? The collective contributions of D×D’s Advisors, Partners, and Impact Collaborative—the managing entity that develops and orchestrates the D×D network. Also a coalition partner, the firm provides strategic guidance, research and planning; program facilitation, implementation, measurement; and holistic communications.
This frees up partners and advisors to focus on what they do best—applying their expertise, influence and resources towards achieving D×D’s shared goals.
