Our Team

We are dedicated to the promotion and growth of Irish craft and design

Based in Castle Yard, Kilkenny, DCCI is run by a team of specialised project managers who oversee our activities. We also offer internship opportunities from time to time.

Our vision is to increase the contribution of crafts and design to Ireland, economically, socially and culturally, by 2030. Our mission is to do this by supporting designers and makers to develop their businesses in a sustainable way and by promoting the benefits of crafts and design to society.
