Code of Conduct

Support, Commiserate & Activate

There are two ways to engage in our community: as a participant or as a co-creator.

The Guild is a community built by designers for designers. We aim to create a collaborative and supportive space where everyone can contribute and thrive.

For many, the natural inclination is to engage as a participant. This approach feels safe and allows you to observe and absorb what’s happening around you. However, true growth and learning come from stepping up and getting involved. We encourage you to embrace the role of a co-creator.

This is your space to innovate, learn, and grow.

There are no set expectations or KPIs here. It’s about your creativity, your ideas, and your initiative. Dive in, experiment, and make this community your own, alongside a group of like-minded designers ready to support and collaborate with you.
