a:bout us
a: is a non profit organisation set up to promote design in the North East
In a world driven by increasingly complex and sophisticated multi-channel media, all organisations need to recognise the critical role that design has to play in creating visually engaging and effective communications.
Our goal is to help the North East economy grow through the understanding, use and success of the region's design industry.
Our objectives are to:
Unite - Stimulate debate and create collaboration among design companies
Inform - Demonstrate the impact of design to businesses and organisation
Share - Ideas, developments and future trends
Promote - North East design talent regionally, nationally and internationally
In the last couple of years over two thousand people attended our seminars to hear inspiring speakers from top businesses such as Sage, Innocent Drinks, Green & Black’s and Tom's Companies.
