Write Where Design Meets Purpose.
Add your voice to our growing community of designers, researchers, and creative thinkers shaping the future of human-centered design.
What We’re Looking For
You can send us a rough draft, a partial draft, or just a short pitch (a few sentences outlining your argument and why it matters to our audience) with an outline. The more polished your submission, the better feedback we can offer. Keep in mind that we only accept original work—nothing that’s been posted elsewhere or generated by AI (we’ve got tools to sniff that out).
Before submitting, take a glance at our style guide and recent posts to get a feel for our structure and format. Also, make sure your submission:
- Has a clear thesis and argument—this isn’t just a list of tips or tricks.
- Shows your personality. Be bold, engaging, and relatable.
- Speaks to an audience of UX/UI designers, creatives of all kinds, editorial professionals, tech enthusiasts, and similar fields.
- Back up points with solid reasoning, not just opinions. Cite sources where relevant.
- Follow our style guide.
What We Publish
Our articles typically range from 600 to 2,000 words, depending on the complexity of the topic. The sweet spot tends to be around 1,000 words. Articles may come with custom illustrations and vary in tone—from casual, laid-back tutorials to more formal, well-structured pieces. Regardless of tone, every piece should be a thoughtful exploration of relevant, current trends in the design industry.
How to Submit & What to Expect
Shoot us your submission via email. We prefer Google Docs, as it makes it easier for editors to provide feedback directly within your draft
An editor will review your submission to see if it’s a good fit. If it seems promising,the entire team will review it during their weekly meeting.
The editor will gather feedback from the team and share it with you. (Heads up: we rarely accept submissions on the first try, but we’ll let you know if we’re interested).
Once you’ve addressed our feedback, resubmit your revised draft. The team will review it again and let you know if we’d like to move forward.
If we decide to publish your piece, an editor will work with you to refine it—think structure, argument flow, and style.
When everything's polished, we’ll schedule your piece for publication. We won’t be able to give you an exact date until it’s almost ready to go live.
