About
Catalog is a full-service design studio that provides unlimited design services on a simple flat-fee monthly subscription. Founded by Win Lin, a veteran product designer with experience at Ribbon, Blue Apron, and Managed by Q, the studio acts as an embedded design team for early-to-mid stage startups. Catalog handles everything from UX/UI design and branding to landing pages, presentations, and social media assets, with a typical 1-4 day turnaround. The company has served hundreds of clients including Y Combinator-backed startups, shipping thousands of projects. Catalog was acquired in 2024.
DailyDropout Take
Catalog caught our eye as a bootstrapped design-as-a-service play targeting the startup ecosystem — offering the quality of a full-time senior designer without the overhead of a hire. Win Lin's product design pedigree from Blue Apron and Ribbon gave us confidence in the quality bar.
