We find good design. We develop and nurture good design. We promote good design. We believe in good design.
The South African design community faces the challenge of marshalling the power of design to contribute meaningfully to the national challenges of high unemployment, poverty and inequality in the country. South Africa needs design capability to more effectively translate research, development and invention into sustainable economic opportunities and market successes. South Africa also needs a design community that is responsive to the needs identified by the national economic and industrial growth policies.
This design portal was founded on the premise that a central platform offering interaction between role-players in the design value chain will enhance the design dynamics in South Africa. It is meant to serve as a meeting place for all roll players in the design value chain. It intends to support the mobilising and deploying of design resources to high-return industry sectors in South Africa through information, knowledge and availing interaction opportunities.
The Design Directory facilitates access to the South African design sector, whether for design demand, supply or support. You are welcome to register your design offerings or needs on the directory, or else, search for the services you are looking for.
You are invited to list design events on the Calendar - competitions, awards, exhibitions or any design activity that can be of interest to the design community.
Please provide useful comments and information that will make the design industry work for South Africa and showcase the design excellence available in South Africa.
