Welcome

The UK has always been respected as a world leader in Design and Technology, with over 150,000 designers in the industry and 50,000 students following design courses across a whole range of disciplines from Architecture to Fashion, Digital and Multimedia Design.

Amid increased competition from overseas the UK’s design industry is increasingly in demand from clients around the world who recognise the unique blend of creativity, quality and ability to deliver.

At Microsoft UK we want to support Designers in the UK by providing new ways to express their creativity, new tools to make ideas into reality, new ways of working with extended teams of developers to deliver that stunning user experience, new ways to delight clients by exceeding their expectations.
