Mission
Human-Centered Design & Innovation is what we're all about.
Founded in 2012, our vision is to connect Penn graduates to innovation and design thinking. We aim to do this by connecting 400+ club members to: resources that will help them to develop core design thinking and innovation skills, industry professionals, and hands-on opportunities to apply design thinking to real world problems.

Membership Benefits
We host Penn's annual Design Challenge (largest of its kind on the East coast), speaker sessions with leaders in the innovation & design field, and career treks to leading design & innovation consulting firms, venture studios, corporate innovation arms, and startups applying those principles in-house. We are one of a few outlets on campus for interdisciplinary exposure - bringing together Wharton, PennDesign, IPD, and Penn Engineering as much as possible.
