DESIGN WORKS X Clare: Where Commercial Design Meets Business

This unique event brings together Clare’s growing community of designers to connect, collaborate, and showcase their talents to the county’s business leaders.

Many local businesses are unaware of the exceptional design talent available right on their doorstep—or how to strategically invest in design to drive innovation, customer engagement, and growth.

The event also offers a rare opportunity for designers to meet, share ideas, and spark cross-disciplinary collaborations that strengthen the local creative ecosystem.

Through real-world case studies and trusted voices from the region, the event will:

• Raise the profile of Clare-based designers
