About Design at Berkeley

Design at Berkeley is a student organization dedicated to making design accessible at UC Berkeley and bringing the design community together.

We do this by curating design resources, publishing design-related Substack articles, and hosting design collaborations with other clubs.

If you are a design club that would like to collaborate with us, please visit our Notion page linked here.

Our mission is to provide any student interested in any form of design a community to learn and explore with. Anyone is welcome to be a part of the community, there is NO application. Please join our Slack to get connected!

We’re also ASUC registered and sponsored by the Jacob’s Institute of Design.
