Happy National Industrial Design Day! 🎉

Today we celebrate the designers who turn ideas into real products that shape how we live, work, and interact with the world.
From sketches to prototypes to the objects we use every day, industrial design is where creativity meets problem solving.

Columbus designers, we’re headed to Form5, and you’re invited!

Form5 is a Columbus nonprofit making custom adaptive products for those with limb differences more accessible through community-powered design and fabrication. Their hands-on Co-Fabs bring creatives and community members together to design real solutions for real people. It’s fast, human-centered, and life-changing.

Join us to see purpose-driven innovation in action, connect with fellow designers, and get inspired by real-world impact. We’ll wrap the night with drinks at (UPDATE!) NORTH HIGH BREWING in Westerville. 🍻

Come curious. Leave inspired.
Let’s design for good. 💛
