Designing a Better Future for Richmond

We are a community of creative pioneers, harnessing the power of design to build a better future. We constantly explore and leverage the physical and digital landscapes, by engaging people through design-related programming.

We are designers, strategists, writers, developers, students, educators, directors and volunteers. We call Central Virginia Home. We are AIGA Richmond.
