Member benefits
Design aware clients

A major aim of the dbc is to show businesses how to profit from using design. We run workshops, roundtable discussions and conduct design audits for business. We conduct surveys to gauge the use of design in business. All of the information gained from the workshops, audits and surveys is interpreted through design in business white papers. These papers assist businesses by showing how peers have successfully incorporated design into their business operations.

Member directory

Each year the dbc will produce a design member directory. This will be both an online and CD rom directory, Business owners who attend dbc workshops will be referred to the website directory and given a copy of the CD. This will allow business owners to readily access a database of designers from all disciplines.
