The Student Council is here to bridge the gap between design students and industry.
Through twelve national representatives, free events and mentorship, we’re creating mutual conversations between young designers and professionals.
The core aim of the Student Council is to give students a voice within the industry. Our representatives have a direct line to the Designers Institute Board and key industry professionals. If you have something to say, we give it to you. Email us at .
