Cheetah Mobile Celebrates Independent Theme Designers at Annual Meetup

Established in 2015, CM Design has quickly developed into a popular venue for some of the world's top up-and-coming graphic designers. Through the platform, Cheetah Mobile is cultivating a growing community of highly talented individuals and teams from around the world, capable of responding to the latest trends and bringing users the themes they want.

"We are building a robust system to connect designers and users," said Edward Sun, SVP of Cheetah Mobile. "Not only does CM Design provide freelance designers with an easy-to-use platform to earn money, our crowd-sourcing model also benefits users, as they are given access to a massive collection of stunning themes to personalize their mobile experience."

Nearly 3,000 designers and 100 design studios from over 50 countries are currently active on the CM Design platform. Together they designed more than 20,000 themes for CM Launcher and Cheetah Keyboard in 2017, with total downloads exceeding 200 million. Individual designers earn up to $15,000 a month designing themes for CM Design, while design studios earn up to $60,000 per month. More than 30 freelance designers have leveraged their success on the platform to establish their own design studios. As a whole, average revenue for designers was up 40% in 2017.

"I have long tried to make a career as a freelance designer, and thanks to CM Design, this dream has become a reality," said Evgeniy Popik, an independent designer. "I have grown mentally and developed my creative potential, and this is of great importance to me."

The Top Ten individual designers and design teams of 2017 were announced at the event, with each winner receiving a set of impressive prizes. The top designers were judged based on the number of themes they created during the year, the quality of their themes, and the number of times their themes were downloaded by users.
