Building a portal to the design world.
The design community was once a vibrant, inspiring, and nurturing space. Over time, much of that spark dwindled. Designers found themselves adrift, disconnected in a sea of noisy chat groups and negative social feeds.
Motivated by the loss of community, William Channer and Timothy Achumba envisioned building a space that returns to the basics, good storytelling. And so our journey began with the launch of Lovers Magazine, putting the spotlight on talented designers through their personal stories. As we engaged with readers, we discovered deeper needs, some sought to hire, while others looked for guidance or insights into admired companies.
This sparked a vision to create an interconnected family of solutions that enables designers to thrive. Spaces forms an ecosystem where each offering supports the others, much like a coral reef where diverse organisms sustain the whole. The solutions interlink to further nurture the designer's journey.
In the wise words of Buckminster Fuller
"The purpose of our lives is to add value to the people of this generation and those that follow."
Spaces is our contribution to empowering designers today and tomorrow.
Why we exist
Our mission is to build a portal to the design world which is founded on four principles
To give designers a stage to share their stories, work and inspirations.
To provide designers with the best career opportunities.
To foster meaningful connections between design studios and brands.
To enable companies to attract and build the best product teams.
