We are most known for our inaugural event in August of 2020 where 30 Black Designers spoke, ignite style, about their transitions as a Black designer in America, birthing the Black Designers Ignite platform. Ever since that mid-pandemic launch, this community has expanded and continues to contribute to like-minded orgs and events in the name of change. Every year, meet us in August! We’ll keep bringing you another all-black, all-day event which has been dubbed “the best conference of the summer!”

Each year we’ll continue the tradition we started in 2020. We’ll host Black Designers Ignite in August.. and pay 30 Black designers 100% of the events’ ticket sales. Members from years previous will act as jurors, MCs, keynote speakers and all around mentors. We’ll hustle to gain sponsors and partners keeping our commitment to pay all the talent behind our events.
