That’s a Wrap on SDF’25: FEEDBACK!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Seattle Design Festival 2025!
This year, we asked for FEEDBACK and the community delivered, with interactive Pop-Ups and Built Installations, and engaging Mainstage Performances exploring UX, city planning, accessible design, and much more. Design Mixers continued to engage the design community throughout the week through hands-on learning and fun, thank you to our hosts Adobe Seattle, ARCADE NW Publishing, and Pratt Fine Arts Center!
The Seattle Design Festival is truly a community-powered effort – thank you to everyone who attended, partnered, volunteered, sponsored, and participated in making the 15th Seattle Design Festival a resounding success!
