As we all know, black women are extremely underrepresented in the world of tech on a corporate and business level. Although larger organizations are aware of this issue and are working to diversify the space, there is still a wide breadth of talented black web designers that still go unrecognized for the contributions that make in the space – especially on the design front. Well, Black women are tech creators — and good ones at that.
Black web designers deserve to be recognized and that is why we did our own reviews to spotlight some great black web designers to further showcase their talent! If you’re looking for someone to turn up the notch on your boring old site, then look no further! Here’s our curated list of talented tech women and black web designers who are serving it in the digital design world. We are all about connecting ambitious people with BAUCE women and this list does just that!
