Design Thinking Cincy

Design Thinking Cincy brings together people who are passionate about design and community engagement. We share techniques, experiences, and practices. We explore Cincinnati through a creative lens. And, we collaborate to shape a more vibrant community.

There are three types of events we organize:

PLAY: Practice design thinking techniques through 90-minute guided workshops.

EXPLORE: Go on organized field trips to sites around the city to get inspired and view our community through a creative lens.

CONNECT: Volunteer for a longer-term engagement with a local organization to apply Design Thinking to a real-life challenge.
