Gold Winner 2024

Qihang Fan

Freelancer

I was driven to submit my work to the 2024 Indigo Design Award to showcase the innovative product I’ve been developing and highlight the importance of inclusive design. Winning the 2024 Indigo Design Award is a significant honor as a product designer and independent developer. This recognition has significantly boosted my reputation in the industry, enhancing my brand, increasing my visibility, and establishing my credibility as a designer.

Gold Winner 2023

Nathanael Gourdin

from Studio Gourdin

Of course it a great possibility of promoting design. But it think it’s also important to the client to see the design quality objectively confirmed by independent professionals. It might encourage the client to think more about the meaning and the added value of design.
