design firms
Aesthetic solution providers
Design firms are companies that provide professional creative services—graphic design, industrial design, interior design, branding, or user experience work.
The term distinguishes businesses focused on aesthetics and visual problem-solving from engineering or consulting firms: We hired a design firm to rebrand the company.
Large design firms may handle everything from logos to product packaging to office interiors.
