About us
Welcome to the Designers Unite Cape Town Community (formerly known as the Cape Town Dribbble Community).
Established in 2015, we are a design community built to connect Cape Town's broader creative and tech ecosystem. We bring together UI/UX designers, product owners, illustrators, animators, and client partners under one roof.
Our meetups are a casual, low-pressure opportunity to talk shop, pull back the curtain on creative processes, and foster local collaboration.
A massive thank you to our long-standing venue partner, Workshop17 Watershed, for providing the space to grow our community.
