Note From the Founder
From humble beginnings in 2017, Designity was born out of a personal frustration with the educational system. My goal was to form a
bridge between academia and the professional world, offering emerging Creatives a chance to gain real-world experience by working directly with clients.
Today, I take immense pride in Designity’s remarkable growth. We have successfully established a versatile platform catering to Creatives of all experience levels and fields, serving both Fortune 100 corporations and innovative startups on their journey towards creative excellence.
Our disruptive approach revolutionizes the creative industry by blending technology with human touch. This balance fosters win-win situations for Creatives and companies alike on the Designity platform. None of us knows the future, but I do know this: the best is yet to come, and I’m here for it.
