TFA Co-Founder, Emma Williamson has been announced as a judge at the prestigious Designers Australia Awards 2023, the benchmark for Australian design excellence endorsed by the DIA. Joining her are Gene Bawden from Monash University and Brian Parkes from the JamFactory.
The Designers Australia Awards were initiated in 2021 after finding an industry void and recognising the need to identify designers and their design process. The awards support Australian emerging and established design communities, both individuals and collectives, and the breadth of the design disciplines advocated by the DIA (industrial, interior/architecture, service, fashion, graphic, textile, exhibition, furniture and jewellery design).
The three cross-disciplinary categories—place, use, interact—replacing the traditional categories and bring together Australia’s broad design community to celebrate ethical, innovative, and impactful design thinking.
The National and President’s Prize winners will be celebrated on 26 October.
