DesignMap

DesignMap as a studio

DesignMap is a 50 to 249 person San Francisco studio with a second office in Omaha, founded in 2006, and its entire mix is design: product design 45 percent, UX/UI 35 percent, web design 20 percent. Its own line is design and strategy for enterprise software products. B2B services lead its industries at 25 percent, with fintech, software and healthcare at 20 percent each. The minimum project is $100,000+ at $200 to $300 per hour. There is no Clutch rating or review on record.

Who it fits

Hire DesignMap when an enterprise software company needs a product design partner that will map complexity, facilitate decisions and train the internal team, not just deliver screens, and can fund a $100,000+ engagement. It is a specialist; branding, graphic design and motion are absent, and consumer brands are only 5 percent of its work.
