Leading designers offer services to businesses

Are you a business owner? Would you like a one-hour consultation with a top Irish creative designer for just €75?

The Institute of Designers in Ireland’s ‘Mind over Matter’ event is coming to a venue near you. It takes place on October 10, the National Day of Creativity, with all proceeds going to AWARE.

This valuable initiative gives businesses of all sizes a consultation with the best of Irish design talent for a minimal fee.

The sessions will run in nine venues nationwide – Belfast, Cork, Carlow, Dundalk, Waterford, Limerick, Galway, and in two Dublin locations.

Full details are on the IDI’s website.

Good design is essential to a good business

Entrepreneurs, SMEs and startups are now encouraged to book a session with design experts in areas such as website development, graphic design, Design Thinking, branding, and marketing.  

Kim Mackenzie-Doyle, the former president of the IDI and founder of ‘Mind over matter’ says mental health is something the design community and the business community are keenly aware of. “Mind over Matter brings the business community and the design community together in mutually beneficial ways. Many business owners and creatives often work in isolation. Mind over Matter is as much about networking and mental health awareness as it is about the work and new contacts and new business,” says Mackenzie-Doyle.

Book your consultation with a design expert

Nearly 200 designers from all over Ireland are donating their time for free with all funds raised being donated to AWARE.

Designers from all specialities are represented including graphic designers, UX specialists, architects, creative strategists, illustrators, interior designers, product designers, brand experts, marketing leaders and web developers. There is something for every type of business.

Booking is open from now until October 9 at www.idimindovermatter.ie.
