Think you can design under pressure? Innovation Day is bringing the heat with The Design Combine — a live, interactive design skill challenge presented with Trillora, the packaging powerhouse that's been building custom solutions for global brands for 25+ years.
It's exactly what it sounds like: a combine for designers. Participants step up to take on a design skill challenge in front of the crowd — think fast, think sharp, and show your process, not just your final product.
Day: INNOVATION — Saturday, August 1, 2026
Time: 12:30 PM – 2:00 PM
Location: 717N Russell St. Portland, Oregon
Trillora doesn't just print boxes — they engineer packaging experiences for brands and retail chains through a deep network of production partners across Asia. For a quarter century, they've worked as an extension of their clients' teams, which makes them the right eye to challenge Portland's design talent on craft, structure, and presentation.
Design isn't just what's on the shoe. It's everything the customer touches first.
