Stellar posted a Tweet inviting referrals for top-notch creatives. I recommended a Fortune 100 designer with a multi-million-dollar portfolio whom I have worked with often. He's a certified MBE who work with award-winning startups & public companies.
Stellar's team completely ignored my messages and blocked me the first time I followed up. Both the Stellar directory & founding team have little-to-no diversity, and they don't seem open to BIPOC creatives either, given the conduct mentioned above.
Incredibly disappointed in what could have been a great idea, and instead ended up being a total waste of time.
The founder Nick Pattison blocked me on Twitter just for DMing him a recommendation for a Fortune 100 designer, instead of simply replying or politely declining ... stellar.work doesn't seem to be very open to POC designers, not a good look 🤡
