RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our engagement with LunarLab produced several concrete outcomes that moved the project forward:

• Through structured discovery sessions, we clarified the core value proposition and defined user personas, which helped us focus on the needs of donors and nonprofit partners more effectively.
• LunarLab delivered detailed user flows and wireframes that outlined the entire donor experience, from discovering a need to making a contribution, which we used directly in stakeholder presentations and early fundraising conversations.
• The clickable prototype created during the engagement became a central asset in our pitch materials. It allowed us to clearly demonstrate the product experience to partners, developers, and funders.
• The design documentation and strategy output from the project gave our internal team clarity and a shared language to move into technical planning with confidence. This reduced analysis paralysis and internal debate.

These outcomes helped us bridge the gap between concept and execution, giving us the assets and structure needed to begin development and stakeholder engagement.

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

Project management was on point. LunarLab did an exceptional job of keeping the project on track and on time - not just managing their own deliverables, but also gently holding us accountable to the timeline we committed to. Their approach was structured without being rigid, which helped keep momentum steady throughout.

They were highly responsive and flexible when we had suggestions or requested changes. Importantly, they integrated feedback efficiently and never let those pivots jeopardize the overall schedule. We always had visibility into the project status, upcoming milestones, and decisions needed from our side, which made collaboration smooth and low-stress. At times, even fun!

What was your primary form of communication with LunarLab?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

What really stood out about LunarLab was how they combined strategic thinking with great design. They didn’t just make things look good, they took the competitive research and market analysis we had already done, pulled out the most important insights, and used that to shape the UX and overall product direction. It felt like they really understood where we were trying to go and helped us get there faster. They made the whole process feel collaborative and easy.

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

If anything, LunarLab brought such a structured and efficient process that it occasionally moved faster than we could internally keep up with. This is primarily due to the fact that as an agency, we are working on many projects at once that split our focus. That said, they were always flexible and responsive when we needed to slow down or revisit something. Their ability to maintain momentum without being pushy was actually a huge asset.

My favorite thing about working with LunarLab is their desire to deeply understand our product and culture. They always appeared fully invested in our desired outcomes, and I never had to question motivation or effort. It felt like they were a full part of our team, not just a third-party contractor.
