Promoting Our People: Showcasing the Best in Design

At Architecture + Design Library, we believe that the heart of our community is our people. From independent designers and architects to suppliers, stylists, and creatives of all kinds — ADL is proud to support a wide range of talented professionals doing incredible work across Aotearoa.

That’s why one of our key focuses this year is promoting our people. Whether it’s through our online directory, social media features, or events hosted at the library, we’re committed to shining a light on the individuals and businesses that make this industry so special.

By showcasing the work of our members, we’re not just helping them get seen — we’re building a stronger, more connected design community. We know how hard it can be to promote yourself while juggling client deadlines, design revisions, and site visits. That’s where ADL steps in — creating opportunities for visibility, collaboration, and growth.

And this is only the beginning.

We’ve got lots of exciting plans in the making to further promote all of our members — from marketing packages and exclusive editorial content, to open days, pop-ups, interviews, and new digital tools to make it even easier for potential clients to find and connect with you.

Our goal is to make ADL the go-to hub for discovering the best in design — right here in our own backyard. Whether someone is renovating a bathroom, building a new home, or looking for a local expert to bring their vision to life, we want ADL to be their first stop.

So if you’re a member and you haven’t already shared your latest work with us — now’s the time. Let us celebrate you. Because when one of us grows, we all rise.

Let’s continue promoting our people and showcasing the best in design — together.
