Quantifying "Shadow Design" Spend
This ~5-minute survey was created by DesignMap. It is intended to demonstrate the amount of design work being done by non-designers and the potential cost of this misallocation of resources. 

We encourage any organization to make a copy of this survey. DesignMap has also created an unbranded template here to help you synthesize and share the survey results internally. 

Make a copy of this survey here to collect responses from your organization. Be sure to update this section with any customized instructions for your team.
