UpStar Design Dialog Session Addresses Human Sustainability

Originally launched in 2022, Kimball International created UpStar to address a gap in connection and development for emerging designers. It has since evolved into a strategic investment in the A&D industry's future, with a growing network of participants and alumni across markets.

It is a year-long, nomination-based experience, with participants selected by firm leadership for their potential and influence. Through a combination of in-market experiences and national programming, participants engage in meaningful design discussions, peer exchange, and relationship-building that support leadership development and career growth.
