The custom designed, yet simple Designers Club "D" logo
I designed a simple logo from scratch, and emailed the Clubhouse team to get set up. A day later, they gave me the green light and I was ready to prepare to launch Designers Club.
Ground rules
I knew that I wanted to create some ground rules so I could host a respectful space that designers felt good about, so I set Designers Club's initial rules as the following:

The experience
I regularly invite notable designers and design leaders to guest co-host events with me, which also lends credibility to the stage. I hold more casual "Designers and Drinks" events on Friday afternoons, and will sometimes start a room when there's a big topic on my mind that I'd like to discuss with fellow designers.

Representation matters
From the beginning, I have ensured that each Designers Club room includes diverse co-hosts as well as listeners who are invited to join the stage to speak. This creates a welcoming environment for designers. The way I foster representation in design, especially at the leadership level, provides examples to early and mid career designers of what is possible for them, too.

Inclusion and Diversity is top of mind for many designers and design leaders, and Designers Club has had several events on different aspects of this topic. One noteworthy event is "#StopAsianHate: Design Leaders Unite," which I organized with Rich Tu, VP of Design for MTV, VH1, CMT, and Logo at ViacomCBS. We pulled together a panel of speakers to provide different perspectives on hate crimes against Asians:
