The Design Trust helps people to start, run and grow their own design and crafts business in the UK and overseas.
We provide business advice, training, coaching and consultancy through a wealth of online information, webinars, e-books, e-courses, and real life events.
We work with professional startups, sole traders, freelancers and small businesses across the different design and contemporary crafts disciplines.
We are working with more than 25 partners – individuals, non profit organisations, commercial businesses, universities and government - all experts in business and marketing for design and crafts.
We focus on the UK, but welcome international crafts people and designers too!
We are under new management and will launch a new website end January 2012, when you can:
- get practical and relevant information from our online blogs about all aspects of your crafts and design business – with video’s, podcasts, and work books
- email us confidentially about any business issue or challenge and get an answer from The Design Doctor and additional comments from your peers,
- search for high quality business training, advice, coaching and consultancy - across the UK and online,
