Sydney Design School

Our Educators are all practicing Designers and Architects

Our Educators love to teach but alongside this passion they remain firmly rooted in the realities of their professional practice, either working in their own businesses or for a design studio. Their industry experience, love of interiors and infectious enthusiasm provides our students with a relevant, vibrant design education.
