Dundee UNESCO City of Design launches new supporter scheme ‘Design Lives Here’

April 17th 2025

Dundee UNESCO City of Design has launched new supporter scheme called ‘Design Lives Here’, celebrating and showcasing Dundee individuals, organisations and businesses who align with design values.

The 'Design Lives Here' scheme is open to anyone in and around the city who champions design within their work - including designers, design-centred businesses, or those who support design by hiring designers, implementing design-thinking in decision making, and more.

In joining, supporters must demonstrate their commitment to the 'Design Lives Here' Charter which supports passionate design endeavours, community wealth building and design education.

  • Promote, champion and collaborate with local design talent
  • Grow your knowledge and understanding of design by learning from others, locally and internationally
  • Show a passion for design that engages people
  • Support the local creative economy through the principles of community wealth building

'Design Lives Here’ supporters will receive a number of benefits including recognition of the Dundee UNESCO City of Design website and social channels, use of 'Design Lives Here' logo, and a set of exclusive scheme merchandise as shown above.
