Who is it for?
Celebrating all aspects of design and creativity
Tyne Design Week is a bold new celebration of design, creativity, and innovation across the region. Whether you're shaping the built environment, building tech for tomorrow, or crafting ideas that challenge the status quo, this week is for you.
We’re bringing together a vibrant community of thinkers, makers and change-makers.
Creative Professionals & Innovators
From graphic designers to architects, digital artists to urban planners, if you're working in the creative industries this is your space to connect, collaborate and be inspired.
Public Sector & Policy Makers
Design has the power to provide new solutions to public sector challenges, particularly in how to best deliver the services people need in a cost-conscious environment.
Businesses & Industry Leaders
Numerous studies show that application of design principles to product and service development reduces risk, speeds up to time to market and leads to an offer that customers really want to buy.
Community Organisations & Changemakers
Design can provide opportunities to think differently, tackle social issues and generate new revenue streams for socially-motivated organisations.
Students, Graduates & Educators
There are opportunities for people starting out on their design careers to stay in the area once they've finished their education and contribute to our local communities in rewarding roles. Find out more through the Design Week sessions.
Visitors & Design Enthusiasts
The Tyne Design Week is open to all, so no matter what your interest is in this space come along to see some of the exciting work going on in the area.
Calling design studios around the North-East
Something for everyone...
We have a couple of slots remaining for design-led organisations to host Open Studios. These are a chance for you to show off what you do and how you are using design to drive value.
We also have one space remaining for a collaborative design session, where we can facilitate work with relevant businesses, experts and customers to come up with new approaches.
