Hello HN!

Investing in craft and building a brand is key to hiring talent and showing customers that you care.

Early-stage startups often struggle to hire top design talent for contract or full-time work. After working/consulting several startups, I've created a directory of designers I personally vouch for. professionals who value craft and have helped startups grow.

About me (the maker): Over the last few years, I have had the opportunity to work with and get to know the best designers in the world. This was because I was trained by one of them and it set the bar high - for craft and problem solving.

After working at a VC firm, an early stage startup and big tech - I realized that teams often never realize what value can come out of hiring a really good founding designer. I want to help with that.

I have spent endless hours curating this list and will continue to do so. With the full directory access, you will also have the opportunity to meet with me for 30 mins to consult on anything/jam on stuff together.
