LGBTQ+ designers’ experiences count.

The Queer Design Count is a field-wide survey of LGBTQ+ people in design across industries and disciplines. The data we collect will provide an important look at the queer experience in design and insights that will help deepen the conversation about diversity and inclusion.

Participate in the Queer Design Count by November 30, 2019 to have your voice heard.

Purpose

Diversity and inclusion is often discussed in terms of race and (binary) gender. LGBTQ+ people often aren’t included in inclusion work. What are our experiences in the design field compared to our peers?

There’s little data. The AIGA asks about LGTBQ+ identity in its annual design census, but only as a single checkbox. What information we do have suggests the design industry has some work to do toward fuller inclusion of queer talent.

Who should participate

Anyone who:

Identifies as LGBTQ+ (said another way: a sex and gender minority, or anyone who is not 100% cisgender and heterosexual); and
Is involved in design in any role, industry, or media—whether a working professional, student, or hobbyist.

You know if this applies to you—we’re not interested in policing who’s queer or who’s a designer.

Your data

The survey is completely anonymous. The only information we collect not provided in the survey is Google Analytics on-site traffic. No other information about you is stored by Queer Design Club. The survey is hosted by Zoho, which has its own privacy policy.

Summarized findings from the survey will be made public (that’s kind of the point!). Anonymized data may also be shared with organizations interested in analyzing, visualizing, or acting upon it.

We respect and value our participants’ time and privacy. Survey questions may get “a little personal,” but we won’t ask for personally identifiable information and suggest you avoid entering any—such as your name, employer name, etc.—in open response fields.
