What are designer levels?
We work hard to maintain the quality and trust of our global community, which is why we diligently curate all of our designers based on their professionalism, creativity and technical skills.
We’re all about community curation
Once you start submitting designs, our Designer Curation team will review your work and your profile to determine which designer level fits you best.

- Execution of design principles

- Technical skills and deliverables
- Client communication and satisfaction

How can I increase my designer level?
While our Designer Curation team regularly reviews accounts, 99designs also hosts application periods throughout the year for designers to apply for higher level status.
After submitting an application, 99designs will review the designer’s portfolio and account history (including professionalism, disputes, suspensions, etc.) to determine which level is appropriate. Designers may not apply outside of the application periods.
