Holiday mode engaged!

The out of office emails are up and the DA HQ is now on break from 20 Dec – 22 Jan, so it’ll be quiet on here for the next few weeks while we dive into the holiday treats, detach from our computers, and spend some time in R&R mode.

Stay tuned for the very cool workshops and events coming your way for 2024, including:

  • 28 Feb: The Freelancing Diaries w/ Hnry – End of Financial Year tips
  • 6 Mar: Under the Hood – Women in Design ( Online webinar )
  • 22 Mar: Women in Design DAY – Design & You
  • 4, 9, 10 Apr: Autumn Conversations – Design & the Planet ( AKL, WLG, CHC )

And, as always, we’ll be kicking off the new year with our annual Hot New Things series.

If you’re not already, consider joining our lovely fam as a DA Friend for 2024.

We have membership types for all size designers – from the student through to large studios. Your DA membership helps to support the Aotearoa design community and gives you discounts to our workshops and events along with profiling opportunities throughout the year.

*Special thanks to Lucie Blaze for designing this year’s holiday card.
