DesignPhiladelphia demonstrates, supports, and promotes the ability that design has to generate innovation, solve problems, enhance daily life and influence both the perception and economics of the region.I've pulled together a list of events you don't want to miss. It's going to be a creative and crazy week here in Philly but I can't wait to get started! Here are some of the few I'm looking forward to. You can see the entire list of events over at the Design Philly Website.
