Say hello to the creative minds behind the bold ideas at DesignLink!

These early-stage designers, thinkers and creators teamed up with NI businesses to co-design responses to real-world challenges, bringing new eyes and energy to every brief.

We're bringing together 11 NI businesses & 23 Design Guilds to tackle real-world challenges through innovative thinking.

This 3-day design sprint connects creatives with businesses to unlock fresh solutions in sustainability & build a more interconnected design ecosystem in Northern Ireland.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Solastalgia event as part of the #RathlinSoundFestival.

Together, we slowed down and connected with Rathlin’s landscape before using natural materials like seaweed and shells to create expressive artworks at the seafront. 🐚
