Democratizing Design is a WDC2024 impact project that envisions a global model to make design accessible and highlight its value in improving life in our transborder region. Led by UC San Diego Design Lab in partnership with The Design Academy and CETYS University, the project focuses on enabling sustainable, accessible, and affordable creative problem-solving to improve quality of life and address regional challenges through Humanity Centered Design. Democratizing Design’s goal is to collaborate and co-design inclusively and develop a "Design Playbook" prototype for a wide range of people, regardless of background or skill level and measure its impact.
