Design Matters is a Copenhagen-based company developing educational content for digital designers and organising international conferences about digital design (Copenhagen, Tokyo, Mexico City, Lagos, Singapore). It's a place where creatives gather together, share ideas, and discuss experiences. Design Matters involves a knowledgeable community of creative and curious minds who share the same drive and passion for digital design, technology, art, and society. Since 2015, Design Matters has been sharing stories about new movements in design, giving inspiration to designers from all over the world, growing each year and reaching 1000+ participants in 2019. In January 2020, Design Matters landed in Tokyo for the first time. In 2023, Design Matters hosted its first edition in Latin America, in Mexico City, and its first edition in Africa, in Lagos. In 2024 Design Matters is turning 10 and it's hosting an event in Singapore as part of the Singapore Design Week. Since 2020, all Design Matters events have been hybrid - both online and in-person. The Design Matters community has grown so much in the last few years that it has prompted us to expand our events even more internationally and to seek new members of our team. Being a small company, Design Matters offers great flexibility, direct collaboration, and the opportunity to wear many hats. if you're looking for a place where you can have a lot of agency, flexibility, variety in your job, and want to work in a really fast-paced environment with a very international team and group of collaborators, this is the place for you! The team at Design Matters is truly international, and English is our main language.
