Empowering African Women in Design: Join Our Community

Joining Design Chics has been amazing. I've longed for a female design community where I can learn and connect with other women in Design. Prior to joining the community, I had been job hunting for a Product Design role.

One day, a job was posted on the JobOpportunities slack channel. I thought I was a good fit for the role. I received feedback about my design portfolio before I submitted my application.

I applied for a job through Design Chics and went through the interview stages and after a while, I got a call back from the company with an offer.

I've been working there for a few months & it has been amazing so far. I am glad to be part of a community that is committed to my growth. Thank you, Design Chics!

I haven't been here long, about 2 weeks, but it has helped me a lot. I've found many resources, and when I face challenges and ask questions, I receive responses.

UX/UI Designer

So far, I'd say it's quite interactive on some days. I've attended three events hosted by the platform. It's one of the few Slack communities I check daily for updates because I don't want to miss any information.

Jessica

Brand Designer

I love that it's a community that looks out for beginners in tech.

Dammie

Designer

I enjoy networking within the community. I've been able to meet new people, see their designs and I'm inspired to become a better designer.

DC has helped me to meet people in my field, I've gotten a lot of inspirations from the success of some community members and I've this feeling that I'd become a great designer soon. Also, I was able to attend a design conference for the first time because of DC.

I love that I can easily speak to people of the same gender about my challenges and get advice. It gives me the confidence that I am not alone, I have a support system to back me up when I encounter any professional challenge.

Design Chic is helping me come out of my shell of doing things alone. Now, I get to speak up, especially given that I was given the opportunity to serve as a community advocate.

In all honesty, for the impact that Design Chics have made so far in my life and the lives of other female designers, I can’t believe it’s just 3 months old! It’s a safe & healthy space for women in design to grow, stay motivated, network & get jobs.

They say action speaks louder than words and I feel so loved by everyone here. There’s mutual respect. I’m also grateful for the Design Foundary! May God bless you all greatly.

Being a part of this community has really helped me even though I just joined a while back.

I can sense the strive for togetherness/unity by the community heads, I find this really lovely and one of the aspects I deeply admire about this community.

Ayomide Adedoyin

UI/UX Designer

As a newbie designer & an introvert that has joined many great tech communities, I feel more connected to Design Chics, I sometimes feel out of place in large tech communities.

I feel that my contributions there may be inconsequential, now Design Chics offers me what those communities can’t - a small community of designers that I can grow with.

Victoria Nduka

UI/UX Designer

Design Chics has been amazing, it’s beautiful to have a wonderful community of women cheering for each other, helping each other attain success.

I’m especially grateful for The Design Foundry for the opportunity to improve my skills with the design scholarship.

It allows me to learn and connect with other designers. I won a free course on designing and it has been helpful so far.
