Kicking off in October, the DCC will focus on community building, ethical practices, and promoting collaboration among designers. Under the leadership of Drew Cauley, the council plans a series of events, including a designer resale extravaganza and a classroom makeover. This initiative aims to support aspiring designers and strengthen the local creative community.
Greenville is buzzing with excitement as the Homebuilders Association of Greenville has launched a brand new initiative—the Design Creative Council (DCC). This council aims to connect local design professionals and shine a light on the incredible work happening right in our own backyard. Kicking things off in October, this is a unique opportunity for designers, students, and the community to join forces and promote a vibrant creative scene.
Within the council’s mission is a heartfelt commitment to celebrate the work of area creatives. The DCC is dedicated to inspiring and empowering designers, fostering collaboration, promoting ethical practices, and advocating for the importance of thoughtful design. With a focus on community building, the DCC is set to champion local talent like never before.
Leading the charge in this exciting inaugural year is Drew Cauley, co-owner of the Design Resource Gallery and Warehouse. His passion for design and deep roots in the local community position him as the perfect leader for the council’s first steps. The idea for the DCC was born from a previous event—the Designer Showcase that took place during the HBA’s Southern Home & Garden Show a few years back. It’s all coming full circle!
A preliminary board has been formed to hammer out the council’s structure and plan a series of events for 2025. Beyond fostering connections, there’s a strong focus on raising funds to support aspiring design students. This ambition matches the growing demand for skilled designers in the area and underlines Greenville’s commitment to nurturing new talent.
The DCC is already cooking up some exciting events that promise to engage the community. One such event in the works is a designer resale extravaganza! Local designers will have the chance to sell unused items directly to the public, with the proceeds going toward creating a scholarship for aspiring design students. This event not only aims to declutter but also provides a platform for talented individuals to kickstart their educational journeys.
This summer, the council plans to undertake an eye-catching project— a classroom renovation, described as a “TV show style” makeover. This initiative promises to create a fresh learning environment that inspires students. Just imagine how exciting it will be to see a rundown classroom transform into a vibrant, creative space!
The DCC is also dedicated to connecting aspiring designers with seasoned professionals. They will organize mixers with local design schools to foster relationships and provide mentorship opportunities. Networking is key in the design industry, and the DCC is committed to creating a welcoming atmosphere where ideas can flourish.
As the inaugural year wraps up, the DCC has plans for a grand finale—a fabulous awards gala. This glittering event will honor the best of design in the Upstate. It’s a perfect way to showcase local talent and highlight the collective success achieved through collaboration and support.
Lauren Carrington of Lauren Carrington Design has also joined the DCC board, emphasizing how crucial community involvement is for local designers. The council is striving to create opportunities for designers to collaborate, share ideas, and work together towards common goals. Stronger together, as they say!
Overall, the Homebuilders Association of Greenville’s Design Creative Council is set to be a transformative force in the local design landscape. Whether you’re a design professional, student, or simply a lover of creative work, it’s a promising time in Greenville. With an array of events and initiatives on the horizon, the DCC is poised to make a lasting impact, one design at a time.
