Discover a superstar creative for your next project with Stellar—an invite-only platform featuring top creatives across branding, web design, photography, product design, illustration, motion, 3D, and copywriting.
Stellar posted a Tweet inviting referrals for top-notch creatives. I recommended a Fortune 100 designer with a multi-million-dollar portfolio whom I have worked with often. He's a certified MBE who work with award-winning startups & public companies.
Stellar's team completely ignored my messages and blocked me the first time I followed up. Both the Stellar directory & founding team have little-to-no diversity, and they don't seem open to BIPOC creatives either, given the conduct mentioned above.
Incredibly disappointed in what could have been a great idea, and instead ended up being a total waste of time.
The founder Nick Pattison blocked me on Twitter just for DMing him a recommendation for a Fortune 100 designer, instead of simply replying or politely declining ... stellar.work doesn't seem to be very open to POC designers, not a good look 🤡
Nick and @aaronrolston here, co-founders of Stellar.
Hiring talented, dependable creatives on the internet is hard. How do we know? Because we met on a creative platform! I was looking for a talented web designer, and had to wade through hundreds of mediocre profiles before discovering Aaron. Likewise, Aaron had to sit around and wait to be discovered, buried deep on a number of oversaturated platforms.
We knew there had to be a better way—an antidote to Dribbble, Behance, Working Not Working, and ILoveCreatives. A platform that guaranteed that every creative was amazing, so that finding and hiring could be done in minutes, not days.
Our deep network of creatives has been built over two decades in the industry. We’ve hand-picked and personally invited only 100 of the best of them across Branding, Photography, Web Design, Product Design, Illustration, Motion, 3D, and Copywriting. Each profile page shows off both personality and portfolio, helping you get to know a creative's work and process, so you can hire them quickly with confidence.
Looking for a "Web Designer who specializes in Webflow, has a minimalist (but colorful) style, with experience in crypto, and starts at $10k?" No problem. Quickly find a perfect match, with the assurance that they’re experienced, reputable businesspeople.
