PDINZ - The Why

An existing Member (DINZ) who has gained up to five years experience as a practising designer and attained a high level of professional competency in their design sector may apply to DINZ for Professional accreditation. A Professional Peer Review is carried out by a selected panel to acknowledge this Professional Membership (PDINZ).

Why PDINZ?

"I’ve been lucky to have generous mentors and peers throughout my career, and see PDINZ as a way to give back and contribute to the design community here in Kirikiriroa. Designers aren’t known for being the chattiest bunch, but good things happen when you get us talking—sharing ideas and inspiration, obsessing over details over a beer. For me, PDINZ is about being part of a community that encourages this kind of creative cross-pollination, celebrating and lifting Aotearoa’s impressive design output."

DINZ Interviews

When the opportunity arises, DINZ interviews leading designers from here and overseas. These interviews seek to dig beneath the surface to address the common and uncommon challenges, problems and opportunities the design community faces.
