Designers United for Ukraine
This creative team decided to help all the designers who suffered during the war. The organization provides its services in more than 25 countries and cooperates with 170+ companies. Thanks to the platform, specialists can add themselves to the list for communication with managers and later, they can work both in Ukraine and from abroad, which is important for refugees.
Create with Ukraine
This platform also simplifies communication between the employer and the Ukrainian specialist. For example, a brand or startup publishes information about a creative brief. Then the Create with Ukraine team selects the best employee from those registered in the database and recommends it to the requester. All new specialists just need to create a profile with up-to-date information and specifications, and then add a portfolio with examples of their work.

These offers are presented to specialists who have suffered from military aggression and have lost their source of income in their native country.
