SEGD

SEGD is a multidisciplinary community of designers and fabricators creating experiences that connect people to place and enrich the human experience.

We are designers of experiences connecting people to place.

We are graphic and exhibition designers, fabricators and architects, media developers and creative technologists, students and educators. Each of our members brings a diverse set of expertise, but we all share a common motivation: to make the built environment more inclusive and intuitive, emotive and engaging, sustainable and shared.
