The Chartered Society of Designers (CSD) is 'the' professional body for designers.

With over 3,000 members in 34 countries, it is the world's largest chartered body of professional designers and is unique in representing designers in all disciplines.

CSD is governed by Royal Charter and as such its members are obliged to practice to the highest professional standards.

The Society is also a registered charity and adheres to best practice as a membership organisation.

The Society is not a 'trade body' or 'association' and membership is only awarded to qualified designers who must also prove their professional capability during an admission assessment.

If a designer has MCSD™ or FCSD™ after their name you can be assured of a professional service. Please check with the Society to ensure your designer has the right to use the affix.

The Society exists to promote concern for the sound principles of design in all areas in which design considerations apply, to further design practice and encourage the study of design techniques for the benefit of the community.

In so doing, it seeks to secure and promote a professional body of designers and regulate and control their practice for the benefit of industry and the public.
