Where Are The Black Designers?
Where Are The Black Designers? (WATBD) is a volunteer-run nonprofit that champions Black creativity, seeking recognition across the industry for underrecognised voices with the aim of fostering a truly supportive community.
In an industry where just 3% of designers identify as Black (according to the 2019 AIGA Design census), WATBD has become one of the leading platforms for next-generation talent through its series of high-impact projects and initiatives.
Co-founded by creative strategist Mitzi Okou and industry veteran Roshannah Bagley, WATBD advocates for the global Black community through collaborative partnerships, running events and workshops, and a vibrant network rooted in solidarity.
Going from strength to strength, 2025 will see WATBD launch its first in-person festival: The Spaces Between, a one-of-a-kind festival set to become a must-attend event for Black creatives and their allies.
WHAT WE DO FOR Where Are The Black Designers?
Eager to play our part in pushing the creative sector to change, Zetteler is teaming up with WATBD to promote its mission and raise awareness about its impressive story. We’re promoting the festival through an energetic PR campaign and encouraging our industry network to take part.
