Welcome to Emergence 2021
Inspired by the careers of Interior Designers they admire – the 2021 TAFE NSW Design Centre Enmore (DCE) Diploma of Interior Design graduates chose EMERGENCE as the concept for this year’s graduate exhibition.
Emergence explores the journey – from student to working designer.
Our graduates walked through the doors of the DCE, eager to absorb, learn and grow. As they arrive at the end of their studies and contemplate their emergence into the design field, they want to take the opportunity to engage with industry professionals and learn about the moments that shaped their careers.
At 6pm on Wednesday the 23rd of June, our graduates will be joined by a diverse panel of expert speakers as they share the influential people and projects that defined their emergence.
