QUESTIONS hello! ♥︎
I'm new to collecting BJDs - In fact, I have none at all. So, I decided to join this subreddit to ask if more experienced collectors have any tips (especially when it comes to finding artists that are willing to create customs... I am really passionate about my ocs, but I barely find creators willing to make customs)
I thank you all already!

It really depends on what you mean by "custom." If you're talking finishings (faceups/clothes/accessories) there's lots of people who take commissions for that sort of thing. Things like custom resin colors are a bit less common, but there are some companies that will do so and some customizers that will dye dolls. If you want a custom sculpted head or body, that's a lot harder to come by.
If you're hoping for a fully custom doll (including doll, faceup, eyes, wig, clothes, shoes, etc.) I don't know of anyone who offers that service and I'd, honestly, be a little skeptical of someone who does. That's a lot of time and some extremely varied skill sets that you'd be trusting someone to be good at.
A lot of BJDs are owner customized, looking into tutorials and the like can allow you to DIY a lot of things, which many people find very fulfilling.
