What we do

Design Education Initiatives

At Project Osmosis one of our primary goals is to change the world of design through design education. Design education is the theory and application in the design of products, services, and environments. It encompasses various disciplines of design, such as graphic design, user interface design, web design, packaging design, industrial design, fashion design, information design, interior design, sustainable design, transgenerational design, and universal design. The values and attitudes which underlie modern design schools differ among the different design schools. And at Project Osmosis are values stem from our staff’s ability to create dreams, self-expression, and community.

  • Brick Builders Nation
  • Business Artists Incubator
  • Creating Can Art
  • Design Explorers
