Say hello to Orbit, this year’s theme for Phoenix Design Week, presented by AIGA Arizona.

Conference: October 23-24, 2026
Design Week: October 26-30, 2026

Early Bird Boarding Passes are now available through July 19 (up to 40% off regular conference prices). Only 100 passes are available, so act fast!

This year, we invite designers, thinkers, and collaborators to enter one another's orbit and celebrate the relationships, conversations, intersections, and creative forces that surround the work and give it meaning. Each of us follows our own path, yet together we create a larger field of connection, energy, and possibility. Together, we create gravity by design.

A sneak peek at some of this year's speakers:

Ben Shown & Megan Greco - the BlinkUX team behind the reimagined NASA.gov

Chuong Bui - an entertainment attorney and partner at Counsel for Creators

Tad Carpenter - designer, illustrator at Carpenter Collective

Don Clark - principal and thing maker at Invisible Creature

Julian Curi - filmmaker, writer, and director at Righteous Robot

We have so much more planned! Stay tuned across all our channels for more news as transmissions come in!

If you missed My Life in the Making with at , you really missed something special. We had an honest conversation about a 25+ year career in the visual communication industry - the ups, the downs, the highs, and the lows.

And we quote:

“My worth is not defined by what I can provide.” - Jonny Arvisu

Interested in independent publishing, bold design, and unconventional creative careers? Then join us and Aaron L. Beebe of Plastikcomb Magazine for a discussion about creating an art magazine, embracing experimentation, and forging your own path in design.

A design school dropout, founder, and self-declared art director, Aaron launched Plastikcomb Magazine as an independent publication dedicated to contemporary art, international artists, and visually bold editorial design. Inspired by 1990s icons like Raygun, the magazine blends interviews, collage, typography, and unexpected layouts into something playful, disruptive, and entirely its own.

Come hear Aaron share the story behind the magazine, the ideas that shaped it, and what it means to create bold, creative work on your own terms.

🗓️ Thurs, April 9, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
📍 dialog, 1001 N Central Ave, Phoenix
🎟️ Donation-Based Ticketing
