🐰 Design Buddies Story
After Grace Ling was discouraged by her professors to pursue design and stick to engineering for her career at the end of 2019, she refused to listen and kept moving forward. She stumbled into online design communities but felt like a small potato in this vast world of design with no design degree or certificate. She felt like she didn’t belong, and just wanted a wholesome place to talk about design. Thus, Design Buddies was born!
A big inspiration behind Design Buddies’s brand was also Grace’s experiences with toxic gaming communities. As a former target of cyberbullying, Grace has been determined to create an inclusive space where all voices may be respected.
Without our admin team, focus group, strategic advisors, content creators, event coordinators, designers, mentors, club leaders, and nearly 20,000 of you in our community, none of this would be possible. Special thanks to our leads: Nadia Le, Brian Moon, Jess Lam, Maggie Pena, Kimberley Chong, Calum Mills, Nabil Mir, Sara Georgas, Jack Shugrue, and Yashar Hoang, in no particular order!
