DESIGNERS AUSTRALIA AWARDS 2022

The Designers Australia Awards bring together Australia's broad design community to celebrate ethical, innovative, impactful design – highlighting and honouring work defined by quality.

Focusing on the design process as much as the outcome, each accolade considers how the designer's work responds to authenticity, diversity, equality, inclusivity, community and the environment.
