About Us

Design for America is a student-led organization focused on building a community of practice for human-centered design (HCD) principles at Carey Business School. We run workshops, information sessions, and full-scale design projects throughout the school year, both independently and in partnership with other student orgs and departments. Whether you're new to human-centered design or a seasoned pro, we would love to see you at one of our events this year!
