Made for new-grad designers

Every discipline has a seat at the table.

This community hub welcomes new-grad designers across practices. Bring the way you think, make, test, tell stories, or shape experiences—and learn from people who approach design differently.

The labels are examples, not limits.
Graphic, product, UX/UI, motion, service, brand, and spatial design simply show the range of perspectives that can belong here.

Before you join

Questions before you join?

Clear answers for new-grad designers taking their next step—without pretending every detail has already been decided.

The short version

You can arrive with questions, unfinished work, and room to grow.

Join the Talent Community

It primarily welcomes new-grad designers across disciplines. You do not need to fit one narrow design label to take part.

The community centers on portfolio guidance, events and workshops, plus a peer community for connection and networking.

No finished portfolio is necessary to express interest. Join at the stage you are in, whether you are shaping a first case study or refining a fuller body of work.

The join form will show exactly what information is requested before you send it. Because the specific fields have not been confirmed, we would rather be transparent than guess.

For new-grad designers
