Questions about finding Design friends
How do I meet other designers near me?
Design events and meetups exist, but finding a casual design friend can be harder. On Partnr you can add Design to your profile and see who around you shares it, then trade portfolios over coffee.
Is it helpful to have friends who are designers?
Design friends notice the kerning nobody else sees and give the blunt but useful feedback your portfolio needs. If your circle lacks them, an interest-first friend app like Partnr can surface nearby designers who would welcome a critique swap.
Can I find design friends in Southern California?
Yes. Partnr works wherever you set your location, so you can use it to find people in Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County and nearby who share your interest in design.
