_                 SPDG is a community of professionals in the textile, surface, and pattern design industry.
                We are a 100% volunteer run, not-for-profit organization whose mission is to support our
                 members by connecting them with networking opportunities, business resources, and
                 continuing education, as well as offer them invaluable exposure.

                 The Guild is open to designers, illustrators, artists, and students within our industry. The
                 majority of our members provide commercial design services, often intended for large
                 scale production, for a variety of markets including apparel, home furnishing, home fashion
                 and tabletop, quilting and crafts, paper products, and even electronics. If you are interested
