Enabling and Empowering our Underserved Community

January 2021

As we reflect on the transformative events of 2020, we at DesignX are inspired to both acknowledge the progress we've made and the long journey still ahead in achieving societal equity. These times have been marked by extraordinary demonstrations of passion and a collective yearning for a better future for our children.

Inspired by Virgil Abloh's Legacy to Shape Future Creatives

The story of Virgil Abloh, who transitioned from studying architecture to founding the popular fashion label Off-White and then becoming the first Black Artistic Director at the prestigious Louis Vuitton, serves as a beacon of possibility and innovation. In honor of his achievements and the path he has paved for future generations, DesignX is proud to announce an initiative aimed at empowering the next wave of creative minds.

This summer, we are offering four free spots in our design summer programs specifically to deserving youth of Black origins. This initiative is our way of contributing to a more inclusive world and providing real opportunities to those who are often overlooked.

Join Us in Supporting Future Design Leaders

We believe that creativity and design are powerful tools for change, and we are committed to nurturing these talents in underprivileged communities. To make this a reality, DesignX will match every dollar donated to our scholarship fund, doubling the impact of your generosity.

We encourage you to join us in this vital effort. If you are part of or know organizations working with disadvantaged African American communities that could benefit from these scholarships, please reach out to us. Together, we can make a lasting impact and inspire a new generation of designers who reflect the diversity and dynamism of our society.

Your support can ignite the potential of a young creative mind and affirm that their future is bright and filled with opportunities. Let’s work together to empower and uplift the leaders of tomorrow.
