So go and check out the schedule, get talks saved in calendars and prepare for hands-on workshops. Workshops are already beginning to sell out…

For a couple of years @eleanorwheeler.film patiently and faithfully showed up to our events with her equipment, to capture a snapshot of the @designfestbrum@bhamdsgn story...
Though its mostly us (@luketonge and @danielalcorn ) reluctantly on camera, the story is absolutely one of a community showing up for each other – supporting each other & serving each other 💕
It’s just under 8 minutes, but it does encapsulate a story 8+ years in the making here in Brum. Thank you El for documenting this, and to everyone else for helping build it!
You can find it yourself on our shiny new BDF site in the ‘About’ section or in our stories via the link 🔗
Some snaps from our social last week 📸

First Fuse social of the year!❤️🔥
A huge thank you to everyone turned up and made it what it was! An evening full of good energy, new connections and celebrating creative community🥳
Also a big thank you to @bhamdsgn and @jaheedhussain_ for their support, and to @thejointworks for kindly lending us the space🫶

Last week, we met an emerging group of talented designers who are taking part in the anti- placement placement!
We were delighted to take part in this incredible programme initiated by @luketonge , who heads up @bhamdsgn . Luke has organised an amazing two week programme hosted @thejointworks which is jam packed full of workshops and studio tours, showcasing the best of the West Midlands creative community.
It was a joy to share our design backgrounds, experience, practice and process with an engaging, questioning and fun group of emerging designers. They bought plenty of enthusiasm and positive energy as you can see captured here in these gorgeous photographs courtesy of @luketonge
Find out more about this bunch of talented here!
