What is FIDO?
FIDO is an online community born as an alliance between women and the design sector. The project aims to boost women designers' professional expansion, produce learning and create a network that assures equity in the design sector.
Our Manifesto
We learn together
We are born as an alliance of women coming from different backgrounds and experiences, that is why we want to work from sisterhood and never from competition among ourselves. We take a chance on facilitation as a key tool for professional growth.
Diversity
We are aware of how inequality affects us in different ways. At FIDO we are intersectional, open and committed with a project that impacts on a professional, institutional and personal level.
Compromise
At FIDO we believe in building a professional sector that respects the environment and the people and communities in which we do our work. That is why we try to make our decisions and achieve our projects in the most conscious way possible.
Accessibility
At FIDO we value the importance of design as a way of narrating/relating the world. If you have any problems accessing our content, get in touch at hello@wearefido.com
* Fido also stands for Fog Investigation and Dispersal Operation. It was a system used for dispersing fog and dense smog from an airfield so that aircraft could land safely.
