PEOPLE with {imagination, ideas, problems} & CREATORS
create INNOVATION
A place to request custom designs from a community of creators, in your community.
We bridge the gap between people and the creators within communities. Think: a network of small-scale “factories” where cool things are made locally by really cool people, with zero pressure, for all. There’s a neighbor who can help.

This tool is not perfect by any means. There is so much work to be done. Our pay structure is not established yet, it may seem too much or absolutely absurd. But beyond those things, DesignedLocally.com will be a community of co-conspirators for creation. Not all will understand, but for now, we’re looking for the early believers of this future.
