STATE Design Collective

Design is a conversation, not a monologue.

STATE is a social platform for designers. Post work at any stage, get constructive feedback, and build your reputation with the design community.

How the Collective Works

01

Post Your Project

Upload work at any stage — early concepts, WIPs, or finished pieces. Add context, tags, and what kind of feedback you're after.

02

Get Real Critique

Receive structured, thoughtful feedback from fellow designers. Not a social feed — a serious space focused on craft.

03

Build Your Rep

Earn Concept and Crit scores as you post work and give feedback. Your rank reflects your contribution to the community — not your follower count.

Common Questions

How is STATE different from Behance, Instagram, Reddit, or other social platforms?

STATE is dedicated to project sharing and design critique. Unlike Behance, it incentivizes commenting over sharing. Unlike Instagram, TikTok, or Reddit, it's built for professional growth, not likes. STATE also lets you respond with sketches and images, so you can help others understand concepts visually unlike other social platforms.

I have a complex project. Will STATE let me upload it?

Yes. STATE supports most industry-standard file types and is always adding more. Images, PDFs, videos, 3D models, Figma links. Show us what you've got.

How much does it cost to post?

Completely free. STATE believes all designers should be able to share their work without a paywall. Hosting is crowd-sourced and privately funded so donations are accepted but never required.
