A book demystifying the communications design industry and community through 506 crowdsourced responses, insights and letters collected by Don’t Mind If. It is a handy compilation of answers and resources to all our burning questions such as:
Who are we? What do we do for work? How did we get into this industry? How are we running our businesses? Are we happy? Where do we go from here?...

Don’t Mind If is an independent ground-up initiative that seeks to understand, demystify and uplift the communication design industry.

Run by industry volunteers, it is designed to be a community effort and seeks to put the collective interests of the initiative above that of any one person or group. Meeting on volunteered time since mid-2019, the team comprises of creative professionals who share an interest and passion for the future of the communications design industry and community in Singapore. We work across the creative field as employees, freelance professionals, employers & students of the local communications design industry.
