DAAPX celebrates alumni innovation through a curated series of TED-style presentations spanning disciplines, careers, and creative practices. This virtual program brings together artists and designers working across environments, storytelling, accessibility, branding, and public experience — showing how design shapes everyday life.

In this year’s showcase, DAAP alumni explore how thoughtful design influences human experience, from sensory-aware environments to public art, brand storytelling, and inclusive fashion. Together, their work shows how design shapes the way we feel, navigate, and connect.
