About

 

Design x Us (pronounced “Design by Us”) is a donation and volunteer-based organization that seeks to discover and share the stories behind the humans that power the creative industries. We interview inspirational designers and creatives and publish key highlights from the interview in hopes to inspire individuals to be proud of their unique perspectives, diversity, and purpose.

Empowerment

We elevate each other by amplifying the voices of our community.

 

A note from the founders:

We started this organization because we realized how beautifully diverse the field of design is. We have been so inspired by the conversations we've had with other designers, hearing their journeys and stories that have shaped their designer identity. We love hearing both where they have come from and where they are going. And, it really is that diversity that makes this industry so powerful.

We hope you enjoy,

Stephen Jordan & Jennifer Kumura
