Design@Large: Design to Action is a six-part public series from the UC San Diego Design Lab exploring how design moves ideas into real-world impact. Through conversations and hands-on sessions, the series examines how teams set direction, build momentum, and sustain meaningful work across sectors. Each session highlights the practical decisions, relationships, and practices that help innovation take root and endure.
Across six Wednesdays, we will explore how design shows up in real contexts. How early ideas find direction. How momentum is built with partners and communities. And how meaningful work becomes embedded in systems that endure.
Design@Large brings together students, researchers, civic partners, business leaders, and community practitioners to look closely at the real work behind innovation. Not just the outcomes, but the decisions, relationships, and practices that make impact possible.
