They understand my requirements and target audience to provide better designs. From a project management perspective, I don’t feel like I am sharing their time with other clients. They can handle the workload and schedule, which we're quite demanding about. I'm quite happy with the project management.

They were hired for Brainstorm, product concept research, innovation of UX/UI design and wireframes in Figma. Was built to be 'hand-over' ready for Developers who could then create the custom software for the back end.

App Designing (UI/UX)

First, we had to define mood boards for each project: White-paper, Pitch-deck, App and Website. Right after, we defined the waterfall process as the best fit for the scale and scope to get the best possible results; as a result, within two months, Arounda, with collaboration with our team, delivered every task, and we got outstanding results for each project.

My business partner isn’t from a tech background, and he had never seen something like this. I had to fight to get this work done and convince him it was worth the money. Halfway through the project, I gave him some screenshots of what Arounda was producing, and then he was completely on board. He understood why we needed to make it, and it was thanks to the quality of their work. Also, what I really liked about them was that they managed to squeeze in an extra set of features that were outside of the scope we had in mind. Those two things made me very happy.
