Our Design & Illustration Society is all about celebrating creativity, sparking new ideas, and building a supportive community for anyone who loves to create. Whether you’re a doodler, digital artist, designer, illustrator or just curious. We believe good design comes from sharing and learning together, so our society is a space to connect, experiment, and grow, no matter your skill level.

What makes us stand out is that we don’t just meet to create, we open doors. We’ll give members opportunities to learn from industry professionals, collaborate on real projects, and showcase their talent. We want to help our members bridge the gap between student work and professional design and illustration practice, all while having fun.

By joining, you can expect:

• Monthly meetups and relaxed feedback sessions: share your work, get inspired, and see what everyone’s making.
• Workshops and talks: learn from experienced designers, illustrators, and creatives in the industry.
• Creative challenges & competitions: win prizes and push yourself with friendly design sprints and illustration battles
• Collaborations with other societies: design and illustration are everywhere, and so is our society
• Trips and socials: visit galleries, studios, or just hang out and make art in good company.

 In short, this society is for anyone who wants to explore their creative side, find new friends, and turn ideas into reality. If you’re ready to share, learn, and create, it’s your time to shine!
