Tasmeem is an international design conference that takes place in Doha, Qatar. Tasmeem is now conducted biennially in order to address larger issues, engage the local community and incorporate the conference into the student curriculum. For six years, Tasmeem has connected scholars and practitioners in the fields of graphic, interior and fashion design to discuss current issues in design and engaging with our students and community members.
