About the American Design Club:
The American Design Club (AmDC), founded 2008, aims to bring together designers working under the American Flag. Currently there is a lack of representation of American designers, outside our borders, and a similar lack within. The AmDC seeks to heighten awareness for emerging designers, further promote a sense of community among one another, and to provide sales and exhibition opportunities.
