Vilnius Design College is a place for those who refuse to fit into frameworks. Here, design is born from ideas, experiments, the rhythm of the city, and the desire to create something that leaves a mark. We believe in creators who are not afraid to ask questions, break rules, and shape a new visual culture through their work.
A message from our director
Algirdas Sabaliauskas, VCD Director
Welcome to the creative space.
Vilnius Design College believes in creators who see further, think bolder, and create not to fit in, but to change. I wish that your years of study here become a space to grow, experiment, and discover your own voice in creativity.
