In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.
As a member, you gain access to a library of over 11,800 publications. You can upload your thesis and explore resources such as digital books, recorded webinars and talks. Engage with the Design Exchange—an evolving platform for sharing design methods and case studies. All members are welcome to contribute and benefit.

Something exciting is in development that will be exclusive to Design Society Members. The Design Society Exchange will provide a place to disseminate Design methods and case studies on Design for all Design Society members to contribute and share.
Design methods are being curated to provide a structure to the fuzzy, open-ended, human-centred design process. We are developing a comprehensive collection of methods that are organized to help you navigate the ambiguous nature of design. Our methods will be actionable, with best practices, instructions for use, resources, and more to help you seamlessly embed design thinking into your work.
As we develop contextual examples of design methods in practice, we aim to support designers in addressing complex challenges through a human-centred design process. Our ongoing efforts to expand our collection of case studies will inspire and empower the design community to creatively embed methods in practice.
