About Designer Founders
Designer Founders celebrates, amplifies, and supports the journeys of designers who build companies. Despite their unique ability to create exceptional product experiences, too few designers take the founder path. Through in-depth interviews and practical insights, we hope to inspire the next generation of designers to make the entrepreneurial leap.
