Spotlight Series: A Celebration of Design and Cross-Border Creativity

Presented by World Design Capital San Diego Tijuana 2024 & Design Forward Alliance

We're excited to announce the third panel in our powerful series continuing the regional design conversation sparked by the landmark designation of World Design Capital 2024. The Spotlight Series, a collection of 18 regional design stories that was developed in 2024, highlights visionary designers and boundary-pushing creatives.

Given these current times of deep division in our region, the Spotlight Series is an example of how deeply integrated we are in this binational region, and a reminder of how we must continue to celebrate that which connects us. Our guests will have the opportunity to watch 7 of these design stories in the Digital Gym Cinema, exploring how we Design for Civic Impact in the region and encourage Entreprenuership in Design.
