2016 AIGA Seattle Changemaker Showcase

AIGA Seattle is a volunteer-led 501(c)3 organization harnessing the power of design to create better futures. We believe the potential to create something great is not restricted to status, industry, or profession—so we offer resources, support, and connections to increase the impact of every creator.Special RequestsAIGA Seattle will strive to address all accommodations for participants with special needs, including accessibility requirements, dietary restrictions, or other requests within reason.
