Elevating Creativity. Shaping the Future through Design.

Our Mission

Who We Are:

We’re a community of designers, builders, and big thinkers who care about good work and good people. From students to seasoned pros, we create space for ideas to grow, connections to spark, and creativity to thrive. We show up, share what we know, and keep design moving forward with heart and a little edge.

Mission:

AIGA Baltimore’s all about design, with a whole lot of heart. We champion creativity as a craft, a strategy, and a force that shapes culture. We’re a scrappy crew of designers, thinkers, doers, and dreamers, coming together to lift design, speak up for its power, and shape a future built on purpose.

Whether you’re just getting started or have years under your belt, we connect creative minds with the tools, knowledge, and community to keep growing. We stir up ideas, throw down great events, and keep design rooted in real people, real stories, and real impact.

Advancing the Value of Design

AIGA advances design as a professional craft, strategic advantage, and vital cultural force. As the largest community of design advocates, we bring together practitioners, enthusiasts, and patrons to amplify the voice of design and create the vision for a collective future.

We define global standards and ethical practices, guide design education, enhance professional development, and make powerful tools and resources accessible to all. Together we champion design that strengthens our profession, elevates our communities, and leads positive change.
