We sat down with Femke, a product designer, educator, mentor and founder of the Femke.design community, to learn how she used her expertise to build community. Femke.design is a community of 200+ designers focused on growth and personal development in the design world.

Getting to know the founder, Femke

What’s your background and how you found yourself in community

I’m a product designer working in tech that’s been teaching design on the side of my full-time career for the last seven years. I began by sharing my knowledge through blogging and podcasting, before eventually moving towards an email newsletter and YouTube channel. Now I run a 200+ community of designers offering live events and coaching.
