Our mission is to help designers grow.

We’re a community-led nonprofit organization that focuses on giving people the space to find their rhythm and pace in understanding the digital creative practice and industry.

About DIA Design Guild

Most companies don't have the time to invest in new designers. DIA prides itself in providing a safe environment for early career and transitioning professionals to flex their skills and develop their portfolio by pairing them with senior coaches.

We help companies and nonprofits figure out their information and website needs by focusing on good user experience starting with research, strategy, structure, and design. We are committed to working with those who provide social, economic and environmental good to their communities.
