Kia ora. Welcome.

As a designer, or a member of the design community of Aotearoa, we extend our invitation to you to join us. To engage, connect and share. DINZ exists to be your voice; help us shape what that voice should say.


We’re here to grow community and collegiality between members, because aroha is at the centre of great design and a thriving industry.

We’re proud and passionate advocates for the industry, promoting and speaking up for the kaupapa of New Zealand design locally and globally.


DINZ provides member benefits, events, celebration, acknowledgments and korero that help you value yourself and each other.
