We create a space where designers from different fields can meet, exchange knowledge and experience, discuss professional challenges, find people to collaborate with, and contribute to the development of the local design culture.

Our community brings together graphic, brand, UX/UI, digital, motion, 3D and product designers, illustrators, interior and environmental designers, art directors, architects, students, educators, and other creative professionals.

We organize professional and informal meetups, talks, workshops, networking events, excursions, and other activities. We create opportunities to exchange practical experience, connect designers with each other, and explore collaboration between design, business, culture, and the urban environment.

One of our goals is to make design and the design profession more visible in Odesa. We want to show that design is much more than making things look beautiful: designers shape brands, products, communication, spaces, and the visual environment around us.

Local context is another important part of our work. We want to talk more about designers who live and work in Odesa, highlight projects created here, explore the city’s visual culture, and understand how Odesa itself influences the work we create.

We believe a strong professional environment grows when people know each other, share knowledge, support each other’s initiatives, and have opportunities to meet in person.

Odesa Design Community is a space where the local design scene can see itself, speak in its own voice, and grow together.
