Become a D×D partner
Partnership in Diversify by Design is not business as usual. You’re part of a coalition, where many come together to achieve so much more than one organization can accomplish alone. It’s where lived experiences from those that have survived and thrived informs directionality; where programs that have been in place for decades are elevated and grown—rather than overshadowed, overlooked, or even worse, erased. It’s where gaps are filled and best practices are built upon in collaboration with those truly at eye level with the challenges that Black and Brown designers face across the design journey.

Together, we can.
In just one year, D×D has accomplished what most organizations take years to achieve. The secret sauce? The collective contributions of D×D’s Advisors, Partners, and Impact Collaborative—the managing entity that develops and orchestrates the D×D network. Also a coalition partner, the firm provides strategic guidance, research and planning; program facilitation, implementation, measurement; and holistic communications.
This frees up partners and advisors to focus on what they do best—applying their expertise, influence and resources towards achieving D×D’s shared goals.
