Press Release: Debrief Graduate Exhibition 2025 – By Otago Polytechnic School of Design

4 months ago by

We are proud to share the impressive work of our emerging designers from Otago Polytechnic’s School of Design in Debrief, our graduate showcase. In 2025 students have produced outcomes for and with community and industry partners from around Aotearoa, with many engaging in industry-based internships. A growth in bicultural design capabilities and creative risk-taking confirms our belief that what will increasingly distinguish the world of design in the future are the human attributes of empathy, adaptability and creativity.

Debrief celebrates the mahi produced by Otago Polytechnic School of Design graduates. From Fashion, Product, Communication, and our Postgraduate programme, this showcase is your chance to experience bold ideas, fresh perspectives, and the future of design. The exhibition features garments and accessories, product design, print media and publications, graphic design, game design, photography, social media and web design, animation, and film projects.
