Show HN: A handpicked directory to help founders find great design studios

https://finddesignagency.com/
15•iamarnob6543•3d ago
I’ve worked on multiple startups — and every time, finding the right design partner felt like a black box. Most directories are pay-to-play, bloated, or just filled with noise.

So I built Find Design Agency — a curated collection of design studios for founders who care about clarity, originality, and building with taste.

Would love your feedback on what’s missing, what could be improved, and whether this solves a pain you’ve felt.

I have been looking for a designer for Nestful[0] for a while now, and although I could find very talented designers, they all look to be doing the same kind of thing.

You mentioned originality but to me it all looks like whatever the current trend is on repeat. I know that this may be a result of client demands but in the end it makes it very hard to judge if the designer can communicate and introduce design flare unique to Nestful, or if they are just very talented on executing preexisting ideas.

> every time, finding the right design partner felt like a black box

I just scrolled through your offering and the line "And they're all made out of ticky-tacky. And they all look just the same." From Little Boxes By Malvina Reynolds sprung to mind.

Every single one of these "sites" looks like it rolled off the same assembly line of tailwind / boot strap series of billboards with no information aesthetic.

But this isn't your problem.

Then I started to click through, hoping for "more". I have to say that giving the big splashy area to scroll through samples is a great feature (for your site).

But in something like the UX category I would expect designs displayed in this area to show me some UX work. It's all business cards and branding... And they all look just the same.

> So I built Find Design Agency — a curated collection of design studios for founders who care about clarity, originality, and building with taste.

I think you have highlighted an a larger industry problem. That it really doesn't matter who you pick. There isn't a lot of innovation or creativity here. Pick the low bidder, accept the work product for what it is and move on.

Design has become the cookie cutter and the shape of the cookie (a founders product) isn't going to change the taste.
