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
combining 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 UC Davis Design Museum and
Birgitta and Helge Olsen Student Support Fund.
