Scroll through social media in early December, and chances are you’ll find snapshots of your friends’ Spotify Wrapped, the audio streaming service’s yearly overview of each user’s listening habits and highlights.

If you like Wrapped, you’ll love IIDA’s version, where we recap the past 12 months of design’s best professional network by the numbers, shining a spotlight on what IIDA members have learned, how we’ve grown, and the ways we advocate for our profession, and for each other.

Enjoy IIDA Wrapped—see stats below and keep an eye on our social channels for more—and before you get swept up in holiday festivities, remember to renew your membership or join us today.

Happy holidays, and happy Wrapped.
