HEAR FROM THE ND COMMUNITY

"ND was a platform to exhibit my work which subsequently connected me with established individuals in the industry, through this I have created a career."
Huw EvansFurniture Designer & Product Developer, The Conran Shop
"New Designers was the most invaluable experience I had graduating as a BA student as I was able to establish multiple industry connections. The connections formed at ND opened up opportunities for me with more than one company and kick started my working career. The show itself was a great platform to present my portfolio and have meaningful conversations with designers in industry. This helped grow my confidence as a designer and also provided me with great advice for my first steps out of uni."
Lucy DayDesigner, Home Product - John Lewis
"Fresh ideas and new innovators keep our business alive, relevant and forward looking. ND is the springboard."
Sally CostenBusiness Owner, The Clerkenwell Jeweller Ltd & Costen Creative Ltd
"Exhibiting at ND allowed me to showcase my work to prospective recruiters, to socialise with other students, to see the standard of work of my peers, and to stay connected with the design world after graduating. Through ND, I was offered several creative job opportunities, one of which I took on and am still working at now! I now head up a team of designers and regularly attend ND to search for the best new talents to join my own team. ND continues to be a source of creative inspiration for me and offers me a view into the latest trends from the next generation of designers."
Lai Chiu TangHead of Design, Cambridge Consultants
"Nothing else comes close in terms of the experience our graduates get in putting on a professional design show and meeting creative professionals, industrialists and design enthusiasts."
Nigel BallCourse Leader, Shefield Hallam University
“New Designers is a fantastic opportunity to start your creative career! […] The networking and the interaction is the best part. […] I had a friend who won the Designer of the Year award and the press he had and the amount of help New designers had given him, really gave him a lot of exposure, nationally, if not internationally. My friend did so well at the show, and it all came off the back of him doing New Designers. He has his own studio now and is a success story.”
Daniel Durnin Furniture and Product Design Course Leader, Bucks New University
"New Designers provides such an important opportunity to network and present work to a larger audience."
Olivia DunnStudent, Bath Spa University
"Supporting the next generation of designers. Breaking down the barriers to design. Giving the space for innovation and creativity to flourish."
