We're pleased to reveal that we've hit 100,000 registered designers on DesignCrowd! And we couldn't have done it without you!
We're not just here to blow our own trumpet (though we don't mind a bit of that!). We have some interesting figures to share with you about the kind of work our designers are doing and where our community is booming.
We're seeing tremendous growth in demand from startups, small businesses, and established brands, across all design types.
Along with the impressive growth in designers joining our community, so too has the explosive growth in the number of job postings, with over 50% growth in 2013 already! This makes DesignCrowd the fastest growing crowdsourcing marketplace in the design world, and a great place to get more done - whether you're posting briefs or completing them.
