Our mission is to support black designers through the amplification of their work and connect them to new consumers and media opportunities.
“As a Designer, being a resource for costume designers is much needed.”
“The true value in Black Designer Database is getting black designers in more films, television, music videos, and in the mouths of rappers, athletes, musicians, and celebrities.”
“A space like this, for black buyers and sales reps, is key in expanding the reach of black designers/brands.”
We help Black Designers get greater exposure within TV, film, and media opportunities.
