Our Board of Directors
We are a group of long time designers that are passionate about helping grow and educate the design community. While there are any great independent resources scattered about, there is no place dedicated to help educate and inform those looking to entire the design field. It is our goal to make this community-based app a premiere educational resource for designers to network and have a central repository of career opportunities, events and much more.
