About Us

Welcome to the Design Association of New Zealand

We are a membership organisation of people interested and practising in all aspects of design. 

We have been around since 1946, originally as the NZ Institute of Draughtsmen. How times have changed yet the principles of good design are enduring.

We welcome you to our website and would welcome your inquiry.
