Our vision is lifting millions out of poverty... by design.

Problems are local.
Solutions are local.

Resources are global.

Our mission is connecting designers and resources. Designfluence™ brings global design resources to local humanitarian projects through collaborative events, information networks, affordable education and accessible mentors:

Mentors -- The Designers Give Bank™ is nearing operational status, giving designers and other creatives a place to apply pro bono gifts of their talent.

Events -- Local Meetups and global DesignJams™ are events for designers to learn and collaborate on humanitarian projects and appropriate, sustainable product design.

Information -- Our long-term goals include The Source Databases™ to facilitate the sourcing of materials, tools, parts and components.

Education -- The foundation is being laid for a design education system that breaks new ground in distance learning and subject mastery for individual design "students" worldwide.
