Preserving the field of design for the future
about our work with designed
Designed is a new non-profit, formed in the Fall of 2017, with a full-time dedicated and passionate founder and the quick support and fanfare of a community of more than 200 designers ready to contribute. With strength in numbers, a focused leader and a thoughtful solution for a real unmet need, Designed is destined for greatness. But before they could begin to recruit board members or promote their services, they knew they needed to establish their strategic core. David, the founder of Designed, connected with Michelle through a non-profit resource and the rest is now part of their history and their foundation to begin.
