Designer Hunt

Because of the name of the site, I was expecting a product-hunt-esque site for finding designers. Instead it's just a list of people curated by the creators of this site? Not that interesting or unique. Doesn't lend well to finding people outside of certain design bubbles and networks...

It’s mostly men and mostly a rip off of other sites that actually have a purpose and this is why we can’t have nice things. Also pls remove me from your list thing I 100% do not endorse this level of socially-oblivious copying and would like to not be associated in any way.

A bit ironic that the first site created by Pablo Stanley was made with a purpose of openness and inclusivity, this feels more like a closed club for well-established SF-designers.

Pros:

The UI is pretty cool. A good resource for finding designers.

Cons:

Would be cool if it highlighted the previous sites that this is a copy of and was more transparent on the selection process.

This looks very similar to https://womenwho.design/ and https://www.latinxswhodesign.com/ — was this inspired by those projects? Would like to see a shout-out!

Yah... Don't like it. So many other designers that are better. Plus. I don't think you got permission from each designer.

It reminds me of similar sites created for POC because of the lack of inclusion, but again, for cis white men.

Pros:

A place to find designers.

Cons:

It’s for cis white men.

This is just a directory of high profile designers... This seems like an elite rip-off of women/latinx/blacks who design. The intention of the other sites is to uplift and connect who are otherwise forgotten designers. Having access to the twitter/medium pages of people like Julie Zhou or Dann Petty is.... useless
