What is FIDO?

FIDO is a professional platform which main objectives are to raise awareness about the lack of equity in the design sector and to enhance women’s work.

We have created an international directory with +200 profiles to showcase women talent all around the globe. We conduct specialized research in creative industries. We develop innovative tools and training to boost women designer’s careers. We aim to be a bridge between designers, institutions, companies and organizations.

We talk about creative process. We talk about methodology. We talk about business. We talk about feminine references in design.
