Humanity-Centered Design
In the universe of academic disciplines, we see connections instead of divisions.
Humanity-centered design at the UC San Diego Design Lab transcends disciplinary boundaries and charts new frontiers in design research, education, and practice.
Our mission is to foster design-driven transformation by educating design leaders, imagining alternative futures, and equipping people and communities with the knowledge, tools, and opportunities to address the most pressing societal challenges.
The Power of 10
During the 2024–2025 academic year, join us to celebrate the Design Lab’s 10th anniversary.
