“From the start the mission of Boston Design Week has been to increase public awareness and appreciation of all aspects of design,” comments Co-Producer Tony Fusco. “Once people are aware of the world of design around them, they recognize the vital role that it plays in our lives.  The festival also gives focus to the importance and impact that creative industries have on our city and our economy.”
