Designhill: World’s Leading Creative Marketplace

Designhill was born in a period, where globalization and digital marketing were transitioning the way, entrepreneurship and businesses were functioning. Companies were looking for solutions that can help in transcending the conventional boundaries at affordable prices. Designhill aimed to suffice this revolutionary period, with its trove of high-quality solutions. Leveraging on digital technology, they crafted a marketplace, to empower business owners and creatives to monetize their talent, over the world.

SETTING THE STAGE

Designhill is the brainchild of two creative innovators Rahul Aggarwal and Varun Aggarwal. Since childhood, Varun had a significant passion for graphics designing. Prior as a freelance designer, he faced several endeavors like lack of creative freedom, communication barriers, lack of opportunities and financial issues, as well. At the same time, Rahul was seeking unique & creative branding ideas/solutions for his family business.

It became an arduous task for Rahul to inculcate creative solutions, diverse expertise and variety of options – in a limited time frame and cost-effective price, all under one roof. These clusters of challenges stimulated a drive in both the innovators to integrate the talents of individual designers/artists and products of innovators, under one umbrella; This led to the inception of Designhill, in 2014.

Over the years, Designhill has grown from a crowdsourcing platform to a creative marketplace for individuals and foundations; seeking creative designing that creates a better brand identity like customized logos, website designs, brochure designs, mobile app designs, marketing collaterals and much more. Recalling the growth, Varun asserts, “When it comes to creative solutions, there is something for everyone at Designhill”.
