Can I become a member of the Design Council?

Actually, you can’t - but only because we don’t have a membership scheme or accreditation programme.

If you want to come and work for us, please have a look at our jobs page.

If you are a designer, you might be interested in reading more about the Chartered Society of Designers, which offers individual membership.

If you run or work for a design business, you could contact the Design Association which offers an accreditation scheme.

Design businesses and design buyers interested in representation, training and events for designers and clients can contact the Design Business Association, the trade body representing designers, or British Design Innovation, a not-for-profit membership organisation focusing on collaborative innovation by designers & industry.
