WHAT IS DESIGN MAKERS
The design fair that goes beyond the brochure
Design Makers by Unifair is Meerut’s first live, interactive design fair—ditching boring lectures for real action. Built for Class IX–XII students exploring creative careers, it packs hands-on university workshops, high-energy competitions, and face-time with top design faculty into a single morning.
Schools battle for top honors with student delegations and project exhibits, while leading design colleges connect with the region's best young talent. Parents and guests are invited during dedicated open hours to discover where a career in modern design can lead.
Explore design as career
Discover distinct design disciplines from Architecture and Automobile to Textile and Communication, with real practitioners and faculty guiding you.
Navigate your options
Meet admissions counsellors, review portfolios and compare programmes across leading design institutions — all under one roof
Make something real
Walk away with a physical deliverable from our hands-on workshops — a prototype, a branding concept, a wireframe, or a wearable — not just brochures.
