About Us

Davis Design Interactive is UC Davis' first human-centered design organization. Our goal is to provide and promote design education on campus in the form of hands-on projects, student-led workshops, industry panels, and more. We believe that inclusive, intersectional, and interactive design are the cornerstones of good design, and our organization embodies these core values.

Davis Design Fest is the first-ever human-centered design-a-thon hosted at UC Davis. This is a 1-day event where students can gain experience and collaborate in a team setting to create meaningful UX projects. This year, we're challenging participants to design interactive solutions that promote education and career development.
