ABOUT US

DesignVerse is the first and only 24-hour beginner-friendly Design-a-Thon hosted by the University of California, Riverside. Designers are challenged to create the interface of an app or website through a given prompt, which would then be demoed and presented to a panel of industry professionals.

At DesignVerse, our goal is to empower our community of students who are interested in design-like thinking and provide career developmental opportunities through our workshops, mentorship, and networking events.

We welcome all undergraduate, graduate and high school students for a lively weekend filled with creativity, networking, mentorship, and more!
