The room, evolving.
DesignX isn’t static. Here’s what we’ve added, sharpened, and fixed lately — so the room keeps working better for the people in it.
Easier to read, easier to reach
We sharpened text contrast and added clear keyboard focus across the site, so the room works well however you move through it. Small things, but they matter.
Everything opens as you go
Membership is a ladder now, not a wall. Start with your email, and each thing you give the community opens something back — your archetype, the full salary picture, and finally the Slack. No paywalls, just contribution.
Take the survey, get the report first
Everyone who shares their story in the State of Design survey now gets early access to the findings — the market read, straight back to the people who made it. The moment you contribute, that rung is yours.
The Salary Repo, in your hands
Add your own numbers, anonymously, and the compare and negotiate tools come alive — see where you sit against peers and walk into the conversation knowing your worth. Real designers helping each other read the market clearly.
One pass, the whole room
Signing in changed. There's no more sign-up-versus-sign-in — just one door. Enter your email, and if you've crossed paths with DesignX before, the room remembers you: your events, your history, all waiting on the other side.
