Top Design Studios for Graphic Design

The top design studios for Graphic Design are led by Designit, followed by Duck.Design and Superside. 15 of the 120 studios in this directory qualify for this list.

15 of the 120 top design studios in this directory work in Graphic Design. None of them goes past 30%, which is where Designit sits, so Graphic Design is a supporting line for every studio here rather than the main practice. On price, four publish a $5,000 minimum, three start at $1,000, three start at $100,000, and three leave the floor undisclosed. Team sizes skew boutique: six list 10 to 49 people on Clutch, six list 50 to 249, and the remaining three sit in other bands.

Six are headquartered in the United States, two in Canada, and one in the United Arab Emirates; five do not list an HQ on Clutch. Nine of the 15 carry a Clutch rating; the median is 4.9 across 367 reviews, and the other six have no reviews, so their figures are self-reported only. Seven of the 15 lead with identity work outright rather than carrying it beside UX/UI, and seven run at fewer than 50 people, which is the boutique shape most craft-led buyers are looking for.
