Design Was Here
Kansas City Design Week
Design is everywhere. It’s in the details. It’s in the space between other spaces. It’s in the one thoughtful decision that transforms an ordinary experience into a truly meaningful one.
Kansas City Design Week is a week-long celebration of the culture of Design. It includes activities, workshops, professional talks and social events meant to inspire a greater appreciation for the many ways Design affects our everyday experiences.
For KCDW, we created a design system that celebrates the countless invisible contributions to our lives that designers have made. We reminded people that every designed object – no matter how insignificant – was thoughtfully engineered to make our experience better. And we tagged every one of these experiences with one profound truth:
Design was here.
