Introducing the WNWN 2021 Ambassadors!
Meet the 2021 What’s New, What’s Next Ambassadors! This vibrant community of designers will be sharing insights, content, product picks, and so much more from September 20 – October 1, 2021, for the New York Design Center’s twelfth annual What’s New, What’s Next event.
Introduced last year to unite designers at a time when gathering was not possible but being together (virtually) was more important than ever, the 2021 program continues to celebrate our industry’s ongoing creativity and positivity – locally and globally.
From up and comers to industry veterans, the WNWN 2021 Ambassador group aims to amplify voices from all over the country, truly representing diversity in perspective, creativity, and culture. Read on to meet the full group and stay tuned for more to come from this inspiring group of accomplished and talented designers.
