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.
Align your business with our region’s largest multidisciplinary design event attracting design professionals, business innovators, students, and enthusiasts. Boost your visibility, invest in your team, and show care for your community by sponsoring the Festival!
Together we will reveal the power of design—how it transforms ideas, spaces, and communities. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a passionate enthusiast, everyone is invited to propose impactful programs or installations.
