Yes, it’s truly permanent. Even if you cancel your membership, you’ll always remain part of the DB community chat , our way of thanking you for supporting us and growing through the platform. This way we hope to keep designers connected, inspired, and learning from each other at all times.
This does not include continued access to other benefits like extra briefs, the client board, feedback, member discounts, and all other benefits available through the website.

Your membership gives you access to client-mimicking challenges with detailed brand briefs. You can also request for feedback (either simulating a real client's response and/or as constructive design critique) to help you grow as a designer and prepare for real client work.

Get access to our exclusive client board, where real brands post design jobs. If a project matches your interest and style, you can apply directly, and potentially land new clients through the platform.
Sometimes we also match 3 to 5 members with an entrepreneur if they prefer that, picking the designers we think are the best fit for the project.
We also offer a brief calendar to keep track of all our weekly challenges, the ongoing ones, previous ones, and the ones you get early access to!

It's a great way to gain exposure with work you’ve already created, especially pieces that didn’t make it to the top 4 in previous challenges.
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. These tools and challenges are designed to spark your creativity and guide you through every aspect of the process. From communicating with clients to developing strong concepts and creating design work.

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.
