Made with ❤ by mtc.
The main goal of service design is to transform services. It puts people first, using creativity to solve problems and challenge assumptions. It creates environments where innovation happens.
We are dedicated to supporting a growing community of change makers. We build the skills of design leaders and capacity in business to create better services and customer experiences.
About us
Founded in 2017 we are based in The Incubator, Gardyne Campus, Dundee & Angus College. We offer unique learning journeys designed to connect theory and practical applications through a mixture of experiences, live classrooms, watch anytime videos, teamwork, mentoring and case studies.
The Service Design Academy is proud to be the first training organisation in the world to receive full accreditation from the Service Design Network (SDN).
Courses
We offer creative learning for change makers. Our courses have been designed, tried and tested by people like you. It’s not about hot air neither is it a talking shop – it’s about learning by doing.
We believe the ability to question, be curious and interrogate is as important as knowing the methods and mapping the journeys.

Service Design in Education
It started with three enthusiastic and passionate ladies. They wanted to make education better for everyone. These three women were not afraid to ask and challenge, but they rarely found the constructive response they were after. They didn’t give up and kept reaching out through their networks of like-minded people who were truly committed to change education for the better. Their paths finally crossed at the Service Design Academy in Dundee. BOOM! Service Design in Education was born.
Let’s connect.
We’re ready to lead you on your service design journey.
