With a focus on folk art, craft, and design, Mingei aims to provide a platform to celebrate human creativity: through the exchange of ideas and examination of the processes and techniques of the many diverse disciplines of design. The Museum is permanently located in Balboa Park and is currently undergoing a major transformation, reopening in 2021.
Intuit applies design thinking and interdisciplinary design to develop market-leading products such as TurboTax and Mint, and award-winning user experiences. With its Consumer Group based in San Diego, the company celebrates the San Diego region’s pioneering and inspirational design talent.
