The Design Communication team have a wealth of experience between us, from graphic designers, illustrators to authors, we work across a range of creative industries, balancing research with practical innovations based within the local community. Our in-depth product design, digital technology, and practical skills enable us to design and market products whilst working closely with students to research and solve real-world social and environmental challenges.  

Our social design approach is an interdisciplinary research and practice with an outward focus, looking at the world as an unpredictable environment giving opportunities for the creative design of useful tools. Connections with psychology, sociology, health and wellbeing, engineering, and history converge and compliment to solve a range of community issues.
