Access details about regional design industry events, meet local community members, and get connected!
Introducing the Design Bay Area Community App
We are excited to announce the launch of our new regional design community app is free and available for Android and iOS. The Design Bay Area App gives you access to upcoming events and posts by Bay Area Creatives and Brands. With the Design Bay Area App, you will be the first to know about events, product launches and posts by receiving notifications when you join topic groups of interest.
“Keeping the San Francisco Bay Area Design Community connected and engaged,” says Alana Washington, DBA Chair “means never missing out on community events and conversations, because we all use our phones daily.”
