How Startups are using Design Match
Design Match enabled us to get talented and experienced designers into our organisation quickly. They were all a great culture fit and made an impact almost immediately. I'd highly recommend Design Match for any business that needs to move quickly with quality. Thanks to the Design Match team!
Ian H.
General Manager - Singsaver
Designmatch helped us find a product designer for our B2B marketplace! Danielle took the time to connect us personally with a product designer that had previously worked in a similar sector. She made sure that there was a fit in the experience and what we were looking for. Especially appreciated the thorough recommendation.
Toby L.
Chief Growth Officer - Fintalent.io
I come from a design thinking background, so I'm constantly thinking about how to best operate a business. Before building or developing anything for the platform, I wanted to address and create the optimal UI/UX experience for the customer. Our design has helped us articulate our priorities into multiple designs. They have really been able to take feedback and quickly return to me what I needed.
Ed V
Founder - Festival Pass
We were impressed with our designer's compassion and understanding towards the needs of the client. Although it's still too early to gauge its success, our designer completed the application on time and within budget. Jess was fantastic.
Anthony T
Co-Founder - Anytime Professional
The designer's know-how and organization skills really stood out. We had a prototype back in 2016 however it needed to be refreshed to meet our re-defined business model. It needed to emotionally resonate and aesthetically fit our brand. We found Design Match online. We found the designer's knowledge, skillset and organization super impressive.
Kayla S
Founder - Stealth Startup
I worked with Dani to design what was really a perfect website. It does so well online. Basically, I own a general contracting company and we're in many locations. I have LA, NYC, Chicago and I've been expanding across the United States. I used the design Dani made for all locations. It's just done well online and it was done super fast. I couldn't have been more happy. I really loved using Design Match and working with Dani was nothing more than perfect. The company was spectacular to work with and so was Dani.
Donny Z
CEO - Build Wrks
I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly the designer understood our industry. We hired a designer to build out our progressive web app. We considered about four designers, but after seeing the initial ideas we decided to continue with Design Match.

We are NOT.
Not an agency
We don't fob your project off to the new guy. We find your designer then get out the way.

We're a cosy, founder-run company, so fire us an email, say hi, and we'll help you in any way we can.
Not just in it for the money
Money's great, but working with impact-driven startups is what gets us out of bed in the morning.
Come say hi :)
We're a small, founder-run company, so drop us an email and say hello.
And if you're ever in a pickle, we're just a Zoom call away.
