The Digital Design Studio (DDS) is an educational space for entry into digital design, focused on audio production, video production, and visual design for printed materials or digital publication. We support student projects for courses and research, as well as extracurricular work by students, faculty, and staff. The DDS is managed by the Digital Scholarship department of Tisch Library.
During DDS service hours, the studio space is staffed by student Studio Assistants to guide you through access to our services, troubleshoot software, offer design feedback, and help you get your questions answered.
Note that you may reach the DDS remotely or outside DDS service hours via email at TischDDS@tufts.edu, through the library chat (you can ask to be assigned to the Tisch Library Digital Design Studio), or by phone at (617) 627-5953.

DDS Computers Now Available Outside of Staffed Service Hours
The DDS teaching and learning space has 16 computers with design software, as well as modular tables for offline work (or for working on your own laptop!). When not in use for workshops, our teaching and learning area is open for all Tufts community members to use. You can find a list of software on our website.
Starting with the Spring 2022 semester, the DDS space will now be open for computer access and study space outside of our staffed service hours! The space will be accessible during all hours Tisch Library is open.
