We create meaningful engagements that elevate design as a critical problem-solving discipline, enabling forward-thinking businesses to unlock innovation through collaborative exploration and knowledge exchange.
About the Centre
BeyonDesign Centre forges purposeful collaborations between the School of Design and industry, positioning design as a catalyst for innovation and systems-level transformation. Whether initiated by external partners or through our own strategic outreach, these engagements investigate how design can critically address complex societal and business challenges.
Outcomes may take the form of student-led academic projects or faculty-driven consultancy work, all grounded in rigorous research and innovation. Beyond projects, we curate targeted events—such as industry dialogues, workshops, and knowledge exchanges—that are integral to fostering long-term partnerships and embedding design deeper into organisational strategy.
