SAVE THE DATE! Our next event is on 23 February 2023. The theme: BIRMINGHAM. This is a very special event we’re doing in conjunction with @BhamDsgn. They’re bringing 10 creatives up to Manchester for a city to city exchange! Let’s learn what makes this great place tick 🙌🏼

ICYMI: We’re open tomorrow! We don’t normally open Saturdays, but hey, it’s Christmas! Pop down and see us between 10am and 5pm

Tickets are on sale for the BD Christmas Social! Thurs 8th Dec at @DigBrewCo from 6:30pm. ...Drinks, Pizza, Ice Cream, & festive fun :) ⇢ birminghamdesign.co.uk/events/birming… 🍻🥂🍕🍨🎉🎄🤗

I think threads like this are v important (& interesting) We need more sharing of 'almost' work – because only showing 1 finished thing has helped make a new gen of designers cautious to share iterations, even in crits... but the majority of work we all make is unused!

Paid opportunity for Brum creative students from 3-6 Nov! Drop me a DM for more info❤️ @BCUSU @BCUCareersPlus @BhamDsgn @IndependentBham @DigbethArtSpace @artroomskh @indigbeth @UCBofficial

If you would like to come to tonight’s event but can’t afford it — drop us a DM x

Do I know: Any junior designers looking for FT work in London? Any agencies looking to hire juniors in the Midlands? DM's open...

Gather is next week! Have you got your ticket? 🎉 Joining us at @thecrossingsccb will be @Mr_Bingo, @Priyjah of @Ragged_Edge and @marcsilk! (plus Pencil Pot Club, @FatSnags, Big Kid Ice Cream and the @BhamDsgnShop) It's gonna be epic! ✌️🍦🌭 🎟 birminghamdesignfestival.org.uk/whats-on/event…
