A special thank-you to @UCSanDiego leadership and @jnd1er for their support Saturday of the @wdc2024 convocation ceremony and Design Lab 10th anniversary celebration. What better way to celebrate a decade of design impact than coming full circle to the place the WDC bid began, right here on the UC San Diego campus? We are honored to live and work for and with our UC San Diego and cross-border communities.
