DESIGN YOUR NEXT ROLE: Manager Edition
A 4-week workshop to help design leaders navigate volatility and build what’s next — with clarity and confidence.
Starts the week of September 5, 2025
The Design Cohort is a community built to improve the state of our industry. A space where creatives can reclaim ownership of their expertise, uplift one another, and work toward a future that’s better for all of us.
After years of leading in-house and agency teams, our founder Gabi saw a gap: creatives rarely had the space to connect meaningfully, challenge industry norms, and grow beyond their day-to-day roles. The Design Cohort was born from that need: a space to gather, reflect, and push the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of commercialized design.
The Design Cohort is for design professionals across disciplines, with a focus on consumer packaged goods, but all are welcome.
Creative directors, design strategists, design directors, design managers, designers and makers. If you care about the future of creativity in our industry, you belong here.
From stuck to sparked—get back to your creative confident self!
GET UNSTUcK!
