ASID Sac State: 1st Annual Design Charette Hosted by Designers Only

What to Expect
Join the ASID Student Chapter at Sacramento State for our 1st Annual Design Charette hosted by Designers Only. Work in small teams, pull from the showroom’s material library, and create a fast, compelling concept—then pitch your solution to peers and industry guest judges.

Theme
This semester’s charette theme explores the intersection of home, work, and community — challenging participants to design a human-centered ‘third space’ that fosters belonging and well-being. The full prompt will be revealed at the event!
