Championing the future of design for all.

We exist to connect our community through meaningful outreach.

AIGA NY is a community of designers, strategists, writers, developers, students, educators, volunteers, activists and more. While we’re diverse in our passions and practice, we share a city teaming with creativity, culture and opportunity.

NYC design professionals of all disciplines, backgrounds and levels of experience can count on us for resources, inspiration, and support. Partnering with individuals, local studios, businesses, and peer organizations, we create shared experiences that grow, shape and connect our community.
