Is it still worth starting a creative design agency in 2026?

With AI tools, no-code platforms, and thousands of agencies competing for the same clients, I’m curious to hear from agency owners and freelancers.

If you were starting today:
• Would you still launch a design agency?
• How would you differentiate yourself from competitors?
• Would you niche down or stay general?
• What’s working best for acquiring clients right now?

I’d love to hear your experiences, lessons, and advice.

Designers deserve a platform built for designers.

I’m currently working on a startup idea centered around design-focused hackathons, bringing together UI/UX designers, graphic designers, motion artists, video editors, and Blender / 3D artists into one collaborative ecosystem.

The goal is to build a community where creativity is the main skill, not just an add-on to development.

I’m currently onboarding early members for:
• Community feedback
• Market research
• Beta testing
• Future hackathons & collaborations
• Founding creative community access
