Our Mission

Honoring the architects of visual culture.

A curated celebration of Black excellence in design, spotlighting one visionary creator every day of February.

"This project isn't just about a single month. It's about building a permanent archive of talent that has historically been overlooked, ensuring the next generation of designers sees themselves reflected in the industry's history."
