Who we work with

For us, demonstrating the transformative power of design means working with a great many other people and organisations.

We work by connecting decision makers with the right design help to solve their problem. We might be helping them to build their own capability as users of design, or they might be helping us prove that design has a role in dealing with big national challenges. Either way, we couldn't do what we do without partners and designers.

Our partners

We work with scores of partners in the private and public sector to spread the word about design, put it to work and help businesses and designers to thrive. Our partners range from government departments, membership organisations and professional bodies to educational institutions, regional development agencies and think tanks.

Designers we work with

Designers are an integral part of what we do, as you might expect. They’re part of the Council which shapes our strategy, they help us provide support services to businesses and public services, they work with us to find new ways of solving national problems and they help us pioneer new ways of deploying design where it’s needed most.
