A professional network doesn’t begin when the course ends.

 

It begins when an idea finds the people, projects and opportunities to move forward.

With design at its heart, the esad—design [cluster] brings together education, research, entrepreneurship and the business community. It welcomes companies, studios, entrepreneurs and research projects, whilst also supporting ideas from students, alumni and lecturers that have the potential to grow, forge new partnerships or develop into future businesses.

esad—design [cluster] opens its doors with a tour of companies, studios and projects.

Step inside the spaces. Meet the people who work there. Discover new collections and ideas. Explore opportunities for collaboration, participation and connection to a dynamic creative network.
