Are you set to be one of the Drivers in 2024? Do you want more focus? Are you ready to dedicate serious effort to your creative enterprise? Do you want to push the boundaries of your entrepreneurship alongside other talented designers? And can you commit an average of one day per week from February to November 2024? If so, sign up now.

Driving Dutch Design is the professionalisation and networking programme developed to guide passionate designers into the realm of creative entrepreneurship collaboratively powered by Beroepsorganisatie Nederlandse Ontwerpers (BNO), Dutch Design Foundation (DDF), and Stichting Stokroos.

As a result of DDD, I've been able to broaden my horizons, set new goals, negotiate with confidence, and restore equilibrium between commercial projects and passion endeavors.
