Sudbury Design Society
We're a community of designers working to raise the value and visibility of design.
The Sudbury Design Society is a non-profit organization devoted to design advocacy and awareness for designers in every design discipline and industry.
Founded in 2008 as the RGD Sudbury Planning Committee, we strive to help shape a better Sudbury for designers and design consumers.
Everything we do — from our Three-Point Perspective Conference to our Design Awards to the showcases powered by local firms for Studio Tours, is to provide networking, professional development, advocacy and transparency for every designer.

WE ARE BUILT BY DESIGNERS
Join the Design Community on Discord
We know that being around other designers, connecting with other talented individuals, finding collaborators, colleagues, or chatting with someone about design, could potentially help other designers. Which is why we’re building a free community discord to bring local designers together all in one place. Sound like something you want to be apart of? Join the DiscordGet More With A Membership
The SDS is run by a small team of volunteers, each dedicated to the design community and the people that make up such an amazing group. We want to continue to grow a community and build a support system for anyone looking to start a career in design and anyone already apart of the field.

We are dedicated to raising the value and visibility of design
SDS is a 100% remote team run by volunteers. We are proud to say we are dedicated to raising the value and visibility of design by hosting initiatives that positively benefit designers. And we want to continue to grow a community and build support in Sudbury with anyone who is looking to help start a foundation for design.
