Cities ByDesign Episode: World Design Capital 2024 and Other Videos /  by Barbara Leon

Last year, we were fortunate to be a part of an episode of Cities ByDesign by ByDesign TV alongside other talented designers, creatives, and community members. This special documentary highlights the unique collaboration and design innovation in the San Diego-Tijuana region, recognized as the World Design Capital 2024—the first time a U.S. city and a binational region have received this prestigious honor. Executive Producer Mike Chapman captured the vibrant energy of this border region, exploring how two cities in two countries operate as one, embracing "borders without boundaries." It was a wonderful experience to take part and contribute to this celebration of creativity and community.
