Empowering the Next Generation of Black, Latinx and underrepresented Designers.

Did you know that since 2004, IP has reached 10,000+ Black and Brown youth with #DesignEducation?

We nurture their creativity & introduce them to the possibilities of design—a world many wouldn't have access to otherwise.

This #GivingTuesday, will you support diversity in design?

As DEI initiatives are being cut, the next generation of designers of color is at stake.

We recently tabled at The Unity Council's Día de los Muertos Festival in Oakland!

It was a great opportunity to engage a diverse community, and share more about the work we do to inspire young people in design.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success!

For us at IP, introducing our students to future possibilities is just as important as teaching them about design.

With this in mind, we invited students from around the Bay Area to join us for a campus tour of Oakland's @Northeastern University, formerly Mills College!

Check out our students' album covers and beats! 👇🏾🎧

Here's a sample of work from our Music in Design workshop.

IP students got to bring their creative visions to life and practiced their presentation skills.

We think it's safe to say that this workshop was a major success!

#FBF to our Create at Home booklet!

In 2021 when we were deep into shelter-in-place, IP's Advocacy and Engagement Committee created a series of activities to keep our students engaged with our community and their growing design skills. #FutureOfDesign

[Inneract Project @InneractProject]

IP joined Project Level to present Music in Design, a workshop where students created their own album covers and beats!

After an icebreaker that helped students consider what goes into being an artist, and Raul's presentation on graphic design concepts, they were creating!

Last month, IP tabled at the Solano Avenue Stroll, a popular street fair in Albany.

200+ community members and students stopped by to see us! We were glad to give everyone details about our upcoming programs (including Summer Design Camp 2025), as well as some IP merch!

On 9/7, we hosted our last Meet and Greet for the year at the Exploratorium.
