What we’re about

Our group is growing and evolving. With that, we’re forming a new structure and identity known as Design Lab!


What is Design Lab?

We are an all volunteer group in Buffalo NY working to strengthen the communities technology development and the education to career pipeline with strategic design leadership. 


We are a non-profit organization created to provide the city of Buffalo, and it's burgeoning tech community, with design and organizational resources. Through local programming, open source data, tools, and education we want to raise design literacy and evangelize the role of design in business. 


The technical practice of design has been proven out, time and time again, to positively impact companies around the world. Our vision provides pathways for school curriculum, help define new job roles locally, and creates a place for an ongoing conversation around design. Our intent is to deliver offerings like a speaker series, workshops, roundtables, and educational resources to the community.
