We’re thrilled that Sydney Design School students were awarded Gold, Silver and Bronze awards, together with a number of Honourable Mentions in the 2021 International Design Awards (IDA).

A message from our Director and Founder, Amanda Grace

“I’m incredibly proud that so many of our students have been recognised for their conceptual and /or sustainable design projects on the international stage at the 2021 IDA. At Sydney Design School we’re passionate about conceptual design and these awards are a wonderful acknowledgement that reflects the high standard our students and graduates achieve.”
