LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL 2024
I am proud to have been part of the incredible team at London Design Festival as the Partnership Manager for the 22nd edition of the Festival.
The festival took place from the 13th-22nd of September and spanned across 11 districts from Shoreditch to Park Royal, Brompton to Mayfair, across east, west, north and south, with 300+ partners taking part. It was an honour to speak to every single one of the partners about their passions and innovative ideas for the festival and make their partnership become a reality.
This year saw more partners than ever! An incredible array of individual designers, studios, institutions and global creative powerhouse organisations took part across the city of London - a truly memorable 9-days of activity!

“London Design Festival celebrates and promotes the city as a design capital on the global stage.”
London Design Festival was launched by Sir John Sorrell CBE and Ben Evans CBE in 2003. Building on London’s existing design activity, their concept was to create an annual event that would promote the city’s creativity, drawing in the country’s greatest thinkers, practitioners, retailers and educators to a deliver an unmissable celebration of design. The launch of the first Festival took place at Bloomberg on 25 March 2003, with a show of support from design, education, government and London organisations. 20 years later, this vision remains ever strong.
“London and Design go hand in hand. It is part of our story. London Design Festival is a platform for hundreds of design stories to be told. Each of them talks to an expanding audience hungry for design ideas and enjoying the quality and diversity of what’s on offer. It all confirms London’s status as the global centre of design." - Ben Evans CBE.
