Top Design Studios in Los Angeles

The top design studios in Los Angeles are led by Urban Insight, followed by WANDR and Laundry Service. Three of the 120 studios in this directory qualify for this list.

Three of the 120 top design studios in this directory list Los Angeles, United States, as their headquarters on Clutch. None of them lists a second office, so the team you would work with sits in Los Angeles. On price, one publishes a $10,000 minimum, one starts at $25,000, and one starts at $50,000. Team sizes skew boutique: two list 10 to 49 people on Clutch, one lists 250 to 999.

Two of the three carry a Clutch rating; the median is 5.0 across 71 reviews, and the other one has no reviews, so its figures are self-reported only. For a buyer hiring on craft the useful cross-check is the balance of identity and interface work: two of the three put branding or graphic design at 20% or more of the mix, one leads with UX/UI or product design, and two are boutique at fewer than 50 people. Hourly bands cluster at $150 to $199 per hour (two studios), with one at $100 to $149 per hour.
