A few months ago, our team had the blessed opportunity to present our work at SxSW for the first time — but hopefully, not the last.

If you’re in the Bay Area, you get the chance to experience an encore.

Reflex Design Collective has had years of experience facilitating community co-design towards addressing issues of equity, power, and politics. Our team has deep experience in design+health, global poverty issues, in product implementation, service design, and much more, all while learning about how this emergent space must include understanding history, reframing who has the power to make design decisions, and asking about how we as designers position ourselves while addressing these wicked problems. Come challenge your mind, your practice, and the institutions at bay.

Are you a designer? Trick question, the answer is yes.

Are you interested in learning about, and challenging, issues of equity in your work and personal life?

Are you in the Bay Area?

This is the space for you. Come join the collective.
