Take a moment to think of all the times you needed expert design help. Redesign your onboarding workflow. Create a new PDF brochure. Custom illustrations for a marketing landing page. You need a design expert to do justice to each unique task. And you need the best. But, where do you find them, when you need them?Design Mini solves this pain. We bring you a fractional design team of 100% vetted designers, with varying design skills, available at short notice to help with your mini design tasks. Not just that, we also bring in our Design Greats to provide design oversight. We eliminated all friction to ensure you only get the best in quality and price.

Each of our designers are experts in their respective fields, with 10+ years of hands-on experience at chiseling their craft. From product design, UX-UI, to website design, identity & branding, graphic design, illustrations, UX and website copywriting. Their work and client roster speaks volumes.

Design Mini brings the world’s best design talent, aka Design Greats to provide creative direction and design oversight for your designs. Our Design Greats have provided the sheen for the world’s best brands like Google, Apple and Disney. You can rest assured that your designs have undergone a screening before they are shared with you.

At Design Mini, we’re obsessed with delivering winning design.

Our remote team of designers are distributed globally. Our designers are 100% vetted, and are specialists in product design, UX-UI, website and landing page design, graphics, illustrations, branding, logo design and marketing collaterals.

Each task is delivered by an experienced designer, with design oversight by a design great. A designated success manager is your single point of contact available on your Slack channel to ensure you only receive the best.

No worries. We'll continue to revise the design until you're 100% satisfied. And its all included in your price.

Good question. For starters, the annual cost of a full-time senior-level designer now exceeds $100,000, plus benefits. Independent designers are typically double the cost. It’s also a challenge finding and retaining one.

The designer you hire may not have the expertise you need. A UX designer is not trained to design graphics or illustrations. A graphic designer cannot design for the web. Aside from that, you may not always have enough work to keep them busy at all times, so you're stuck paying for non-utilised time.

With Design Mini you can pause and resume your subscription as often as you need to ensure you end up paying for designers when you have work available for them.

Once subscribed, you're able to add as many designs request to your queue as you'd like, and they will be delivered one by one based on your prioritisation.

Design requests that can be delivered in upto 15 days are called tasks, and more complex ones are called projects.

Think custom brand illustrations, or a new feature for your mobile app, or redesigning your brand identity.

Complex tasks (we call them projects) require team continuity, hence we designate a designer and a design great throughout the project duration, to ensure your design shines.

We follow a 5 day week. Each design request is updated every 24 hours, excluding weekends. Your completed design is dropped every 1-2 days. Complex design requests do take longer. We let you know the estimated drop time for such requests before we start work on them.

Most design requests are designed in the Figma app. Figma is an extremely easy to use web-based software, with nothing to download. Most of our clients use and love their free plan.

For custom illustrations and graphics, we use Adobe Creative Suite or Corel Draw for delivering high resolution assets. Even here, sketches and design are shared on Figma for your feedback, and final assets including PNG and print ready files are shared on Google Drive.

Once you’re subscribed, you are provisioned access to a Notion member portal where you and your team can add new design tasks, view the status of an ongoing task, and access your design repository.

You can add unlimited members, unlimited tasks and prioritise them. We start with the first task in your queue. This task status shows as work-in-progress. Task status is updated every 24 hours, excluding weekends and holidays.We share task updates to solicit your feedback, and iterate your designs. You can share your feedback by commenting on your design file in Figma or by leaving a comment on Notion.

After you approve one task, we start work on the next task in your queue. At Design Mini, there are no calls or stand-ups, ever. Nothing to schedule. Nothing to discuss. You’ll thank your stars you have Design Mini.

Unlimited design requests. Unlimited brands. Unlimited users.
