Design-by-Design is the annual juried student competition highlighting the breadth, talent, and diversity of the Department of Design, as shown through the outstanding course work produced over the past year. 

The UC Davis Department of Design offers a challenging curriculum combing design history, theory, and studio courses. Faculty members assist students with the complex practice of translating ideas into realities and the important process of shaping culture, form, and content. Students are trained in combining design factors with technical skills to fluidly navigate the design discipline in the areas of Textiles and Fashion, Exhibition, Visual Communication, and Interior Lighting & Architecture.

This competition is sponsored by the Birgitta and Helge Olson Design Award and the UC Davis Design Museum.

Thanks to the judges of this year’s competition, Susan Abplanalp, Rudy Garibay, Morissa Rubin and Rob Zinn.
