Designing 2015Welcome to a new year in design. We are looking forward to working with all of our member organisations, partners and other industry, government and academic stakeholders to show how design makes a massive impact in the lives of all Australians. This year will see a big push from the ADA towards a national vision for design in Australia, something that we have been lobbying consistently for, and is now much needed, if we are to captialise on our design strengths as a nation. Please share our newsletter, follow us on social media and contact us to talk about how you can support the Australian Design Alliance in 2015. |
