State of Design

The Swedish Edition

State of Design

The State of Design Report is one of the best insights into the design and design leadership community in Sweden. The report has been running for ten years, and is one of the largest design reports in Sweden. The report has rich information about trends, salaries, what designers love and hate and what makes people leave their job. The report comes in two plans: free and premium+. By buying our report, you support the Design Leadership Community and our members. You find payment options by scrolling down on this page.

If you have answered the survey, you have free access to the premium+ report. We sent a mail with the password to everyone who has answered. If you have a problem finding it, contact us.

What People Say

Loved by the Swedish design community

The State of Design report is the perfect way to get a grip of trends in the Swedish design community. To me, it goes without saying, answer the questionnaire and read the report every year.
