We are looking for cultural hacks that help designers to solve problems in unexpected ways, see things from a new perspective, or take a different attitude around a challenge.

​

The simple act of sharing your culture  can have a great impact in making creative communities more integrated, diverse — and smart!

WANT TO BE FEATURED?
HERE IS How to contribute

DIG YOUR CULTURAL HERITAGE AND WRITE IT DOWN

Write as much as you want. A short hint is already good, but even better if you come up with a 300-500 word article showcasing a design tip, trick, or hack inspired by your cultural background. Make it a design case if you can!

TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF

Include a short bio (50-100 words), and a bit of your design experience. Links, LinkedIn, Dribbble profiles, whatever works. A nice photo is also essential.

Send your contribution

Use the form to submit your stuff and we'll be in touch. You may get it published in the eBook and that is so very dapper.
