DESIGNxRI (DxRI) is a nonprofit organization with a mission to create an opportunity-driven environment for Rhode Island creatives, design businesses and the design sector to thrive. We work to fulfill this mission by coalescing the RI design community and educating the general public about design and the vast RI design talent. Further, we strengthen and maximize the assets of the local design community through economic, workforce and community development initiatives. Our goal is to contribute the RI design sector’s creative, innovative problem-solving practices to the educational, economic and cultural wellbeing of the state of RI.
