Life Through
Design
The Design Village is a designers’ ecosystem for design education. Here, design is not just taught, but experienced, questioned, and redefined. Built on the belief that design shapes life, TDV encourages students to think across disciplines, carve their own unique path, and change the world through design in any and every medium imaginable. For us, education extends beyond classrooms: into collaborations with industry, immersion in the world, and a deep engagement with the self and society.
