Halo Lab

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m a serial entrepreneur in the media and IT sector.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Halo Lab?

We hired them to create the UI/UX and web design of an e-commerce gift shop.

What were your goals for this project?

To achieve a creative, trustworthy, and unique online gift shop.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We checked the portfolio of various companies, looking at 3–4 different firms. We chose Halo Lab because of the personal touch we received from the beginning, and the skill sets their portfolio reflects.

Describe the project in detail.

I worked along with Halo Labs on the wireframes. They then did the UI/UX and web design of our e-commerce shop.

What was the team composition?

I had constant communication with the project manager and lead designer. On their end, they had a team of people they contributed creative ideas and further design elements.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Halo Lab did amazing work. However, I never proceeded with that particular project as a couple of more appealing business opportunities came up that required my full attention.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

It was excellent. We used Slack and Basecamp.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their communication and adherence to time commitments.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I don't have anything particular in mind.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO and founder of Glance Tech, a consumer electronics company based in Singapore.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Halo Lab?

We needed support developing the UI/UX of our iOS and Android app, which was established internally. The app was designed to function as a back-pocket app, so the key experience is in its communication with the hardware device.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Halo Lab designed the UI/UX for our app which displays information from all of a user’s devices (e.g., wearables, smart home devices, web services). 

During the initial two-month design phase, the team developed a sleek UI. They managed the entirety of the app’s informational design, animating patterns of information appearance and disappearance, fade-ins and fade-outs, and length of the display. They streamlined the onboarding flow to display relevant information on the screen for each step. The team also built integration capacities to have the relevant information appear on its display.

The implementation phase involved simplifying designs, finding new approaches, and developing icons. Working with our manufacturing team, Halo Lab helped improve the design of the printed onboarding document which is the first thing customers encounter. The team redesigned our investment deck and developed an icon for Google Play in accordance with our guidelines.

What is the team composition?

We worked with two dedicated designers, a project manager, an accountant, and one other team member who provided support.

How did you come to work with Halo Lab?

Halo lab was recommended by a friend due to their responsiveness, creativity, and affordability. Their team also wanted to work with creative startups from overseas, so we decided to partner with them.

How much have you invested with them?

The initial commitment was a fixed cost of $3,000. We later spent around $100/hour, which totaled $300–$900/month depending on our needs.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with Halo Lab from February–July 2017.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Users were excited about the design, describing the display as straightforward and clean. Halo Lab simplified the app’s interface to make the on-screen info more accessible at a glance. By creating special animations, they ensured that all information is both actionable and non-disruptive to users, which was everything we expected.

How did Halo Lab perform from a project management standpoint?

Communication was always clear. We mostly connected by Slack but also used Skype when we needed audio and Google Drive to share information. We developed specific channels between Halo Lab and our hardware team, which allowed our team to implement their designs. 

If they ran into any roadblocks, they weren’t afraid to address it, which is what I expect from partners. They communicated issues early to find solutions quickly.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They know what to do. Transparency is the most important component when working with a team. Halo Lab was transparent about deliverables and any challenges their team was facing.

They followed our internal Scrum practices. The team delivered results iteratively, which allowed us to track progress and understand our next period of development. Going over the deliverables and tracking our cost allowed us to optimize on the fly.

Are there any areas they could improve?

This was my first experience working with a dedicated UI/UX team, and we’ve never been disappointed or regretted committing to our collaboration. There isn't any constructive feedback I could give them.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Make accurate requirements and don’t expect to receive more than what’s included in the proposal.

What is the team composition?

They provided a dedicated team of project managers to serve as our main points of contact.

How did you come to work with Halo Lab?

I found Halo Labs on Upwork. After seeing their portfolio, I hired them for my projects. We’ve continued working together because we’re always on the same page and they’re a friendly team.

How much have you invested in them?

We invested $30,000–$50,000 in their services.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project ran from October–December 2015.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The designs they’ve created for our business are modern and fresh. We have a fully functioning mobile website, which helps stabilize our position as a leader within our market. All of the projects we’ve done with them have been successful.

How did Halo Lab perform from a project management standpoint?

They managed the project well. Every timeframe was realistic and they delivered work on time. We used Skype, Figma, and Invision to manage the work. I felt no need to track their hours because of the trust I had in them.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They perfectly met my expectations—working with them felt like an extension of my in-house team. I always trusted the quality would be high. They were open-minded and willing to discuss things from a different point of view professionally.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There were a few occasions where we weren’t on the same page, such as the look of some items. Other than those instances, I was delighted with their team.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

If you’re open about what you want, you’ll have a successful project. I’d recommend hiring them.
