Last Thursday afternoon we hosted the first Indesign Social Club at , bringing together the next generation of Australian design leaders for the conversations that matter.

The focus for our inaugural session was hands-on participatory design, and it sparked an incredibly insightful discussion. It was great to see such a strong turnout from emerging architects and designers, and to hear fresh perspectives, honest reflections and thoughtful ideas shaping where the industry is headed.

In a more intimate setting, the conversations felt open, generous and energising - exactly what we hoped this space would create. We’re aware the industry is evolving, and we want to keep listening to the voices helping shape its future.

A huge thank you to Savage Design for hosting us, and to everyone who came along and contributed to the evening. We’re already looking forward to the next one!

Design is better together.
