Welcome to the UTS Design Index – an initiative of the School of Design at the University of Technology Sydney.
The UTS Design Index is designed to support independent, collaborative and cross-disciplinary learning.
While the UTS Design Index has been created for UTS students we hope that the wider design community finds it valuable.
We always welcome new content. If there are resources that we have missed or that you think are better, please let us know via email at contribute@utsdesignindex.com
And to everyone we link to – thank you. We too are committed to access, openness and quality.
