Get to know our team and mission to educate and inspire the next generation of graphic designers
When collaborating with a team, establish a clear design system that everyone follows to maintain consistency across all project elements.
DesignEdge was founded in 2020 by a group of experienced Swedish graphic designers who shared a common vision: to create a comprehensive educational resource that bridges the gap between design theory and real-world application.
What started as a small blog sharing design tips has grown into a full-fledged educational platform serving thousands of designers across Scandinavia and beyond. Our journey has been driven by the belief that great design is a powerful tool for communication and that proper education can elevate the entire industry.
Today, DesignEdge stands as Sweden's leading online resource for graphic design education, providing curated articles, tool recommendations, and industry insights to help designers at all levels advance their skills and careers.
At DesignEdge, our mission is to democratize design education by providing accessible, high-quality resources that empower creators to realize their full potential.
We believe that great design should not be gatekept by exclusive institutions or prohibitive costs. Instead, we strive to create an inclusive community where knowledge is shared freely and every designer—regardless of background or experience level—has the tools they need to succeed.
Through thoughtful curation of content, practical tutorials, and spotlighting industry trends, we aim to bridge the gap between theory and practice, helping designers create work that is not only visually stunning but strategically effective.
