The vision
A central goal is to network, learn, and exchange ideas. Alongside panel discussions, the day includes hands-on workshops and exercises for health and wellbeing, plus participatory sessions that research and explore the unique opportunities and challenges San Diegans face.
The Health and Wellbeing events are for designers, healthcare and wellness professionals, technologists, community leaders, and anyone interested in how San Diego can use design to create more meaningful and equitable local impact.
This is an afternoon of design impact: practical, participatory, and rooted in the city we actually live in.

The experience
The day moves between conversation and practice. Panels bring together people who work on health from different angles: clinical, technological, civic, and personal. Workshops put those ideas directly into attendees’ hands through breathwork, ritual, ergonomics, and guided exercises.
Rather than treating health as something that happens to us, Designing for Health and Wellbeing treats it as something that gets designed. By the products we use, the spaces we move through, the work we do, and the connections we keep.
Who This Day Is For
Designers, healthcare and wellness professionals, technologists, community leaders, students, and anyone curious about how design shapes the way San Diegans live, work, and care for one another. No clinical background required.
Free. On Purpose.
Every session is free because access to professional development shouldn’t be a luxury. Design Week is a common table — come as you are, bring what you know.
