Design Guild is a community of alumni, friends, design professionals and industry leaders whose purpose is to support, nurture and promote design education at the College of Design through volunteer efforts, special programs and events, and private contributions.
Members of the Design Guild believe that design is a powerful force that can help solve the challenges of our state, nation and world. The Design Guild inspires design excellence by advancing design thinking and design literacy for everyone.
The Design Guild is a global community established in 1996 as part of the NC State Foundation to promote design education at the College of Design.
