We are proud to work in partnership with De Montfort University, Birmingham City University and Hereford College of the Arts, to celebrate the next generation of makers and designers.
Each year, we visit graduate degree shows to meet emerging talent and present Design-Nation Graduate Awards. This year’s standard was exceptionally high, resulting in multiple awards!

Graduate Award: Miranda Townsend

De Montfort University (BA (Hons) Design Crafts)

At Hereford College of the Arts, we enjoyed meeting graduating students, discussing their next steps and introducing them to Design-Nation student and graduate memberships.
Congratulations to our 2026 graduate award winners! We look forward to welcoming you to the Design-Nation community and supporting you as you begin your creative careers.
