Announcing Creative Journeys: Design Academy, powered by Squarespace

9 months ago by

We are thrilled to announce “Creative Journeys”, powered by Squarespace, a series of free, in-person and online events taking place across Aotearoa New Zealand in 2025.

With this year’s theme of ‘Design Academy’, each event also includes a Free seminar led by a local agency or designer with a focus on education and knowledge sharing. Across the series we’ll be delving into tactical Design tips and business knowledge.

The 2025 Creative Journeys series is coming to Christchurch, Hamilton, Auckland, Wellington, and also includes two online sessions throughout the year. Across the series we’ll be covering a range of lecture topics from Web Design in the Age of No Code to How to Nail a Brand Strategy and more. 

In the lead-up to each event, we’ll be releasing a different article interview with each of the featured Creatives, giving you a taster of their career journeys and the types of learnings we’ll be diving into at the live event.

Event Details: 

The format for each event includes a topical lecture and discussion session where you’ll walk away with both tactical key learnings and how to apply them to your Design business. Join us and your fellow Aotearoa NZ creatives by registering for your Free ticket. More details can be found within the event pages linked below. ( Keep an eye out as we release more event pages for those not linked below later in the year )

Stay tuned as we release the names of the Featured Creatives and their lecture topics for each city over the coming weeks

We are excited to have partnered with Squarespace, the all-in-one website platform, to bring you the 2025 Creative Journeys: Design Academy series. Design Assembly has always been about fostering connections, providing inspiration, and celebrating the vibrant Design community in Aotearoa New Zealand. Our mission is to support Designers at every stage of their journey, and this series is a testament to that commitment.
