Chartered Society of Designers

The Chartered Society of Designers (CSD) promotes concern for the sound principles of design in all areas in which design considerations apply, to further design practice and encourage the study of design techniques for the benefit of the community. In so doing, it seeks to secure and promote a professional body of designers and regulate and control their practice for the benefit of industry and the public

CSD runs an online directory of designers, Designer Select, and publishes The Designer magazine. CSD also offers its own awards and collaborates with other design bodies and organisations to develop, sponsor and administer design awards.
