Homegrown Community Projects

Homegrown Community Projects

Collaborative design challenges led by creative experts and upcoming designers. From reimagining everyday objects to celebrating culture through creativity, these projects are a playground for learning, experimentation, and bold ideas.

In early 2025, YDI brought together 15 designers to work in teams of varying sizes. A chess set and a deck of cards were chosen as the medium to represent modern India. This edition was supported by Teague and Figma.
