Questions
Which design agencies work with Australian startups?
Few studios market to Australia specifically. Koto has a Sydney office; India-based studios such as we hate vanilla, Parallel and Lollypop overlap Australian afternoons (IST is 4.5–5.5 hours behind AEST), which makes same-day feedback loops practical.
What's the difference between a product design agency and a web design agency?
Product design covers the software itself — onboarding, dashboards, flows, design systems. Web design covers the marketing site. Several studios here do both; the focus column shows which.
Should a startup hire an agency or a full-time designer?
Before product-market fit, an agency or subscription is usually cheaper than a senior hire and faster to start. Once design is a weekly need, hire.
How did you choose and order this list?
Inclusion: the studio publicly states it serves this segment or names clients in it. Ordering is the rule stated at the top of the page, applied the same to us as to everyone else. Prices are the lowest the studio publishes; unpublished ones are estimates from public quotes and marked. Clutch figures are read on the date shown. Corrections: hello@wehatevanilla.com.
