Our Motto
You’re in the club!
Ottawa Design Club is a volunteer-run creative community for designers and creatives in Ottawa. We host speaker events, publish zines, and create programming that brings people together around design, ideas, and shared work.
The Design Club is part of a broader network of creative communities, with chapters in Marseille and New York. Each chapter is locally led, shaped by its own community, and connected through shared values. Welcome to the club!

Just start the damn thing: Inside Ottawa Design Club’s Build it Anyway, by Lashanda Forsberg
Is there ever a right time to begin?
Creative work is something of a no man’s land. There are no blueprints nor footprints to follow when you begin a project—you just have to start building without the plan, without the knowledge, without the confidence—and trust that the bricks will appear. This was the theme of Ottawa Design Club (ODC)’s 22nd event, Build it Anyway.
Inside Ottawa Design Club
Ottawa Design Club brings creative people together through events, talks, and zines.
Explore how connection takes shape at ODC, from being in the room at an event to stepping on stage or contributing to something that lives on in print.
