A Global Design movement starts here.
We're setting ethical standards for design roles, calling out exploitative hiring, and building a community that protects and supports creative workers.

The design job market is broken — and it’s not by accident.
Companies are inflating roles, demanding 3–5 skill sets in one listing, offering entry-level pay for senior-level expectations, and turning hiring into a gauntlet of unpaid work. These aren’t edge cases. This is the norm.
Talented designers are being pushed out — not because they lack skill, but because they’re exhausted, burned out, and forced into impossible conditions.
We’re watching full-time jobs become unpaid application projects.
We’re seeing "junior" roles that require 3+ years and full-stack knowledge.
We’re getting ghosted after doing free strategy, free wireframes, and free data-gathering for companies that are quietly benefiting from our unpaid labor.
This isn’t a talent gap. It’s a respect gap.
This movement started because we’ve had enough — and we know we’re not alone.
We’re here to push back against exploitative hiring, build real standards for creative roles, and create a support system for designers across industries.
If you've ever felt like you're shouting into the void, doing everything right but getting nowhere — you're exactly who this is for.
Wondering how to get involved, what membership means, or how we’re working for fairer design? Find the answers you need to feel right at home in our community.
Connect with a welcoming community, share your voice, and help set new standards for ethical design hiring and workplaces worldwide.
