Since 2014, the Toronto Design Directory has been hosting networking events, creative talks, discussion panels, art shows, workshops and other events to bring graphic designers together and support our community. We share information and advice online via social media and email, and connect designers to resources they can use in their careers. The TDD is Toronto's only listing of design and advertising businesses, and creatives from all over Canada and beyond use our site in their job hunts and to learn more about the local industry.
Our audience is driven, passionate, and curious. The people we interact with are engaged and want to contribute to our community while pursuing better and better graphic design. Primarily based in Toronto and the GTA, we connect with graphic designers, art directors, illustrators and other visual creatives at a variety of career stages.
By advertising with the TDD you are furthering our mission of supporting Toronto designers and sharing Toronto talent with the world. Your funding will go towards our events, helping to cover costs for venues and food, technology rentals, external vendors, swag, and thank you gifts. Your help allowed us to extend our reach and help more designers.
