The Design Council has announced its refreshed network of more than 400 built and natural environment experts who collectively embody the organisation’s commitment to make life better by design. One of these experts is our Co-founding Director Stephen O’Malley who is looking forward to sharing his expertise, insights and ideas and applying them to some of the significant challenges society faces, which are more urgent than ever before given the climate emergency and pandemic.

The network, which consists of a wide range of active leaders and change makers from various professions, backgrounds and regions, is an essential part of the Design Council’s role in delivering design advice and support services in the built and natural environment and beyond. Underpinning the network is the aim of creating better places for all through collaboration, sharing knowledge and providing insight that comes from lived experience.
