What is this?

The 2021 Design Refresh was a community-centered weekly creative art challenge. It ran online from January to May and was organised by Cindy Xu .

Many creators worked hard to create work according to a theme every week. At the end of each week, a showcase was broadcast live on Twitch for the community to enjoy.

This website hosts the themes and showcases all entries from the #2021DesignRefresh .
