Event Design

Boise Design Week’s (BDW) was founded by Alex Caves. Boise Design Week is a creative experience and media company that connects people to Boise’s thriving creative community through inspiring events and powerful storytelling. We serve those who believe creativity drives culture and economic growth. Our mission is to elevate Boise as a world-class creative hub by giving local creatives the recognition, opportunities, and platform they deserve.

As Boise grows, we’re ensuring its creative scene grows with it. 

Our first event was the Lecture Series 01 which took place on August 7th 2025. The event theme was LAUNCH which thematically focused on it being the first event we did while also focusing on speakers who discussed their thinking, the process, the strategy, and the execution of their latest projects. The presenters were Nate Pavitt (Product Developer / Entreperenure), Greg Wilson (Director / Cinematographer / Photographer), John Yarnell (Creative Director / Public Artist / Placemaking Advocate), and Jennie Myers (Associate Clinical Professor of Innovation & Design, Boise State / Creative Strategist / Designer)

Launch was marketed and promoted by Brianna Daniels, Animation and motion graphics were provided by Zach Hawkins, and Event Apparel Design by Richard Dirsty.My role as creative Director was to help with the overall event look and feel. The visual design reflects the look and feel of being in a cockpit, giving the viewer the feeling of being in the driver's seat. The look is very tech, dark, and moody.
