About Pune Design School
We don’t just teach design
we train designers to work in the real-world scenarios.
Pune Design School is built on a simple belief-design is not just about ideas, it’s about execution.
At PDS, students learn by making, testing, failing, and improving. Through studio-based learning, industry collaborations, and hands-on projects, we prepare designers who can think critically and build confidently.
Nurturing Design Culture
A place to Learn, Practice, Reflect, Teach, Innovate, and Create Design Culture.
We foster students to critically assess their ideas for a complex world, encouraging a reconsideration of their design approach. Our goal is to cultivate responsible, ethical design professionals with a deep understanding of societal, environmental, cultural, historical, scientific, and gender-related concerns. Through research, interactions, workshops, and field studies, we aim to create a design culture as a valuable resource for impactful design.
