Hola, amigxs! Really happy to launch Latinxs Who Design on Product Hunt. This is a living directory of thriving Latinxs in the design industry. Our mission is to provide a space to find outstanding people to follow, look for a mentor, make new friends, or discover talented latinxs to join your team. If you want to nominate a latinx, please use the “nominate” button. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions 😉
The layout is so beautiful and simple, like how I can filter by specialism. Nice work 👏🏽

Thank you, Abadesi. That's so kind of you.
This is really cool, Pablo! Like all your other work, it is simple but with a highly efficient payload. I am thinking to build something similar for Africans in design so thanks for the inspiration! 😄

Hey, Ray! That's dope!!! I used to create this. I made the project “clonable” so other people can create their own list. In case you wanted to use it as a starting point, here it is:
I see a few friends on this list! ( ) How are you planning to keep this updated and do you add everyone nominated, ?

Two more people are helping maintaining the profiles—they've been superheroes. For now we're accepting all latinx designers. We have been discussing about setting some filters, but haven't really settled on something. Do you have a suggestion?
that's a tough one! You want to be inclusive and welcoming, if hundreds of people reach out every week, it'll be challenging to manage and potentially lose some of its value. One approach is to have very clear, transparent guidelines that align with your purpose for being added. Maybe everyone needs to have worked on a product that's shipped. 🤔

that’s a great suggestion. I’ll refer to the team and the group. Thank you so much for the thoughtful response.
It's Latino...
Latinx is the gender-neutral alternative to Latino and Latina. It's inclusive of people who are trans, non-binary, queer, gender non-conforming, agender, or gender fluid.
I think I know my culture better than you. It’s Latino.
since you know our culture better, could you define Latino to me?
Latinx encompasses Latino, Latina, and Latinx. By using Latinx, it supports people using any of the three. If you identify as Latino, I support that—and so does the word Latinx. And it's not *your* culture. It's 's culture, too. So his opinion is just as meaningful as yours. 👋

This is like everything I wanted that I didn't know I was missing. LOVE IT!!!

Pros:

Everything.

Cons:

I wont get anything done now cause I wanna talk to my latinx design friends!

We are here and distractable
Where's the dark-skinned latinos at?
Maker
You can add people using the “nominate” button! 😉

Awesome resource of awesome people!
Maker
Gracias, Jorge!
Amazing ! Clean Product. Love the filters simplicity. I would prefer that the profile photo animation changes only to one color for different filter ... But everything is amazing! Love the Product!
Maker
Thank you for the suggestion, Rui! That's really thoughtful of you. Do you mean changing the color to a duotone using only one hue?
YES :) ! I really love all the black & white concept, and I think the duotone on the profile animation (different color for each filter) will fit perfectly with all the neutral concept !
