Student Designers. Remarkable Work.
We’re two design students with different creative backgrounds. We quickly discovered how much growth comes from exchanging ideas and giving each other feedback.
Start with a DOT was born from a shared belief: student designers shouldn’t be underestimated. Talent doesn’t wait for a title and creativity doesn’t need permission. This community exists to celebrate student work, spark collaboration, and show what can happen when ideas have the space to grow.

Co-founder · Digital Design Student
I am a digital design student obsessed with creating new concepts, assets, and everything in between. With the aim of starting my own design studio one day, I am on a constant lookout for making my work perfect and learning from the ones that aren't.
With Start with a DOT, I want to create a community of students where the student designers and their work can get the spotlight and recognition they deserve.

Co-founder · Spatial & Interior Design Student
I’m a design student with a deep love for spaces that tell stories.
I’m currently studying Spatial & Interior Design and learning to look beyond aesthetics — exploring how people move, feel, and connect through design.
With Start with a DOT, I wanted to help create something that felt missing: a space where student designers can grow, support each other, and be taken seriously — not “someday,” but now.
