Note: To give more members a chance to showcase their work through our platform, submissions already featured on our page are not allowed.

For (new) designers, we offer a page filled with client communication tips and exercises to help you better understand design and strategy.

Take On Realistic Rebranding Challenges
-
Instead of designing something new from scratch, you’ll receive a fictional brand with a logo & identity that needs a refresh/rebrand. It’s a unique way to challenge your creativity.
-
Most design jobs involve improving or evolving existing brands. These challenges train you to think critically, spot what's not working, and bring a fresh perspective to a brand that already exists.
-
Each challenge is in-depth, unique, and focused on helping you think beyond visuals. You’ll strengthen your portfolio with work that shows process, reasoning, and growth, not just pretty pictures.

If you’ve submitted work to one of our DesignerBriefs challenges, you’re automatically eligible for our matchup service, where we personally recommend 3-5 designers to clients based on project fit, style, and potential.When someone fills out the form to post a job, they get to choose whether their project goes on the Client Board (open to DB+ members) or if they’d prefer a personal shortlist from us.

We’re Alyssa and William, both brand strategists and graphic designers for a couple years now.
Even after finishing design school, we often felt like something was missing. The kind of support, guidance, and community we really needed wasn’t always there.That’s why we created DB+, an affordable platform to bring designers together and offer the kind of help we once wished we had.
For anyone feeling stuck, isolated, or unsure about their future in design, this space is for you.
