We believe the world needs better design, and want to see better user experience in markets like financial services, business tools and digital health. We partner with companies to help them design great products and scale high-performing design teams.
Bridge and Designer Founder Guild are professional development programs that curate design leaders to share the latest best practices through workshops, dinners, and talks. Each program emphasizes both craft and leadership skills. We also bring together exceptional design leaders to share stories and build community at summits like Women in Design & Source.
