World Design Organization (WDO)
Bodies such as the World Design Organization, alongside SIGraDi, IxDA, and other design societies, help sustain the design profession by setting standards, accrediting programs, and building community.
Bodies such as the World Design Organization (WDO), Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics (SIGraDi), the Interaction Design Association (IxDA), and numerous national and specialized design societies contribute to the reproduction of the practitioner base by establishing standards of professional practice, defining core competencies and ethical guidelines, accrediting educational programs, organizing conferences and workshops, publishing journals and magazines, and fostering a sense of community and shared identity.
