Let’s fix digs. To start, take our survey to tell us about your experiences & share your opinions. You'll help us build a comprehensive overview of problems with the current system so we can create a plan of action to make it better. Complete the survey: ow.ly/j72A50H6T3q
The big survey we've been circulating on designers fees? 😍 If you have any questions about it join us on Wednesday 17 November to discuss why we need this information & how we will be using the data gathered to create better contracts for designers moving forward, as well (1/2)
