Our Mission
Design shapes the world. From the places we live to the products we buy, it creates environmental, social and economic impact and so has the power to change things for the better.
Since 2010, the Design Council has made significant progress in helping government, business and communities better understand what design is and the economic, social and environmental benefits it brings.
