Good Design Ambassadors

The Good Design Ambassadors program recognises pioneers of good design and consists of leading designers, architects, business leaders and changemakers who share our aspirational vision for designing a better world.

The Good Design Ambassador is an honorary title given to a select group of individuals in our design community who have made, and continue to make, a positive impact on the design profession both in Australia and internationally. They include past Jury members, Australian Good Design Award recipients and distinguished keynote speakers from our events and programs.

The core purpose of Good Design Ambassador is to act as advocates for good design and actively promote and support Good Design Australia’s vision and mission as we strive for a better, more inclusive and more sustainable world – through design
