The Seattle Design Festival is a platform for bold design conversations. We believe that design is for everyone and that inclusive co-design practices are essential to shaping an equitable Seattle. We are multidisciplinary, socially engaged and civic minded.

SDF 2023 – That’s a Wrap! 馃コ
Thank You to Everyone who Joined Us for SDF 2023! 馃
2023 was the year of CURIOSITY. Our community gathered at the Block Party, at our Design Mixers throughout the city – and the year – and online at our Virtual Mainstage. Together, we celebrated the design community, encouraging collaboration and connection. The Seattle Design Festival is truly a community-powered effort, so thank you to everyone who attended, partnered, volunteered, and otherwise joined us in making the 2023 Seattle Design Festival a resounding success!
