Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Gapsy Studio was responsible for designing the complete UX/UI of the MVP project, a storytelling-driven gamified e-commerce platform.

The scope of work included:
• Creating the full desktop and mobile design in Figma
• Developing a consistent design system and component library
• Designing all main pages of the platform 
• Delivering the final prototype ready for handoff to developers

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The project resulted in a complete and visually consistent UX/UI design for the MVP, fully ready for developer handoff.

The final design successfully translated the platform’s storytelling and gamified vision into a cohesive user experience across desktop and mobile.

The design system now allows for efficient development and scalability.  The project took longer than expected due to multiple revisions and clarifications along the way. Better initial structure and understanding of The project would have helped deliver faster. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the result. The final design truly reflects my vision and identity for the project. A bit more organization and collaboration from the start would make the experience perfect, but the team’s responsiveness and flexibility really stood out.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The project was not delivered within the expected timeframe, mainly because multiple revisions had to be made along the way. I would have appreciated a clearer organization and structure from the very beginning, as well as a deeper understanding of my project’s vision from their side.

I also wish the team had collaborated more closely with me during the creative phase instead of mainly executing instructions, as this could have led to faster alignment and fewer iterations.

That said, they were always very responsive and willing to help, showing strong dedication to meeting my needs and adapting until I was satisfied with the result.

What was your primary form of communication with Gapsy Studio?

Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Their strong design skills and quick responsiveness were the most impressive aspects. They consistently tried to adapt to my feedback and ensure the final result aligned with my vision. The value for money was excellent. The quality of the design delivered was high for the price, and they remained flexible and helpful throughout the process.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Gapsy Studio could have done differently?

Gapsy Studio could improve by providing clearer project structure and communication from the start. Having a well-defined roadmap, timeline, and explanation of each step would help clients better understand the process and reduce confusion.

At the beginning of the project, communication felt a bit unstructured, you receive an overall estimate, but the workflow and steps aren’t always explained unless you ask. For clients who don’t yet have a perfectly defined vision, it would be very helpful if the team took more initiative to ask questions about the “why” and the “how” to better understand the project’s essence before starting the design phase.

I would also suggest a more collaborative approach during the creative process rather than strictly following instructions. This would save time and lead to faster alignment.

Finally, adding a thorough final review before delivery would help catch small alignment or UX details that might otherwise be missed. I would likely recommend Gapsy Studio, especially to clients who already have a clear and structured vision of their project. Their design quality and responsiveness are excellent, and they deliver modern, visually appealing results.  For clients who need more guidance or collaboration during the creative process, I would suggest ensuring that communication and structure are well defined from the start to make the experience smoother.
