Carly Ayres created "100s Under 100" a Slack community for designers that we can all learn from.

Almost five years ago, Carly Ayres started a community in Slack called "100s Under 100," a play on the Forbes "30 Under 30" list and other similar awards. The group brings together a vetted collection of designers, everyone from senior creative leads at big companies like Dropbox to high school students looking for feedback on their college applications. "Hundos" feel they are on the same team, sharing resources, insights, and feedback in what can otherwise be an isolating profession.

We get questions about community "watering holes" all the time. People want to know what platform they should use to bring their people together, or what they can do to actually make a digital space engaging. Carly has figured all of this out and more.
