Top 5 Design Agencies in Los Angeles for 2026

Los Angeles design work splits across a wider range than its entertainment-industry reputation suggests — regulated product studios building for hospitals and public health agencies sit alongside luxury branding boutiques and ecommerce specialists. The five agencies below have real, verifiable client work behind them, each in a genuinely different lane.

The list

All five agencies

Sidebench

Product strategy and UX/UI design across regulated and creative industries

Sidebench's client list runs from Cedars-Sinai to Sony Pictures to Andreessen Horowitz, a range built by treating product strategy as the constant across very different stakes rather than repeating one house style. A hospital system's requirements look nothing like an entertainment studio's, and the firm has built for both without diluting either discipline.

Clients: Cedars-Sinai, Sony Pictures, Andreessen Horowitz

Based in: Santa Monica, CA

Goji Labs

Product strategy and full-stack development for public-sector and global health clients

Goji Labs has shipped 500-plus digital products, and its work for the World Health Organization and the City of Los Angeles reflects a practice where documentation and regulatory process matter as much as the interface — a different discipline than a studio building a straightforward consumer app.

Clients: World Health Organization, UCLA, City of Los Angeles

Weberous

Ecommerce design and Shopify Plus development

Weberous has built ecommerce sites for major national retailers without losing the smaller DTC accounts it earns, proof its process holds up at both ends of the client-size spectrum. It was one of the first agencies to earn Shopify Plus Partner status.

Branding, digital design, and motion for startups and consumer brands

QLO works at the intersection of branding, digital design, and motion, building brand systems designed to move across platforms and products rather than stay static. Since founding in 2024, the studio has taken on clients across automotive, hospitality, and lifestyle categories.

QLO Agency

Regulated Product, Ecommerce, or Brand

The clearest split among these five is what they're actually solving for. Sidebench and Goji Labs both work in regulated or high-stakes categories — healthcare, entertainment, public health — where a design decision has to survive review beyond just a product team. Weberous is the ecommerce specialist, built for a retail brand that needs a working, converting store.

Flat 6 Concepts and QLO Agency both sit on the brand and identity side, though at different scales and speeds: Flat 6 for an established luxury or hospitality brand, QLO for a newer company that wants branding and motion built together from the start.

We built this list from public portfolios and named clients, and no agency paid for its position.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask

Do I need an agency with entertainment-industry experience specifically?

Only if your product touches that industry directly. Sidebench's entertainment client work is real, but its broader value is range across regulated and creative categories, not entertainment specifically.

Which of these agencies works with regulated industries like healthcare or government?

Sidebench and Goji Labs both have direct, verifiable experience with hospital systems, global health organizations, and public-sector clients.

How much should I expect to pay across these agencies?

It varies by scale and category. QLO Agency and Flat 6 Concepts are scoped for a single brand or identity engagement. Sidebench and Goji Labs price around funded, mid-to-late-stage product work, typically higher.

Can any of these agencies handle both branding and a working ecommerce build?

Weberous is built specifically for the ecommerce build itself. QLO Agency bundles branding with digital design and motion, which suits a company that wants both handled by one team from the start.
