OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Orizon Design to accomplish for Fun and Games?

We needed artwork for new unreleased games.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Orizon Design provided tappable Figma prototypes and mock-ups. This included animations and various states of certain screens within the games. The team worked on the entire game's artwork.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 2–5 teammates from Orizon Design.

How did you come to work with Orizon Design?

I had previously worked with someone on the Orizon Design team and was very impressed by their quality of work.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in January 2026, and the engagement ended in March 2026.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Orizon Design exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond. The entire team was thrilled with the quality of their work. The games are still in development, so we don't have any quantitative metrics yet.

How did Orizon Design perform from a project management standpoint?

Orizon Design's project management was exceptional in terms of communication, timeliness, and quality. We had weekly sprints, and the team always delivered on time. Orizon Design also provided very clear deliverables to sign off on for each stage of the project. We primarily communicated through virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Orizon Design's ability to take rough concepts that didn't have many product specs or wireframes and turn them into beautiful and functional designs was impressive.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I didn't think there was anything they could improve on. We were exceptionally happy with all aspects of the project.

2-5 Employees

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

The initial phase of the project worked to develop a comprehensive design language to better enforce our branding and to highlight an increased investment in UX for our users.

Once we landed on a design language, Orizon used that to design a handful of core screens.

Finally, those core screens were used to generate a Figma file that included the final design assets which will be used to implement the design system component library in code.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The core deliverable was achieved on-time and under-budget.

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

We had a standing weekly meeting with the primary designed assigned to our team who would go through the work completed for that week.

We would leave comments and provide feedback, which would be incorporated and re-evaluated during the next meeting.

In between these meetings were discussions in Slack to keep everyone aligned.

Orizon also used a project management and proposal tool called Bonsai to keep objectives organized.

What was your primary form of communication with Orizon Design?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

We were impressed by the quality and the speed of their work.

Additionally, a key aspect of us selecting Orizon was their commitment to UX excellence.  We were very happy to see their marketing prove true throughout the work.

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

Nothing I can think of at this time.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of a travel technology startup.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Orizon Design?

We’ve hired Orizon Design for UX/UI design services.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We started with a discovery and strategy phase that lasted for a week. We had an initial call where we discussed what we were trying to achieve and our value proposition. Orizon Design came back to us with a presentation illustrating the personas and target demographic. They also came up with high-level flows on how the platform should look.

Once we validated those, we entered the design phase, which lasted for six weeks. Orizon Design used Figma for the final deliverables. The website is complex because it includes AI, so Orizon Design had to strategically add entry points and ensure it was easy to navigate for any traveler using the platform for the first time.

We’ve just wrapped up the design phase, and the next phase is development. We’re also in conversations with Orizon Design about creating an explainer video to highlight the features of the platform and present them to potential investors.

What is the team composition?

We’re in frequent contact with Aurelién, the founder and design director. We also work closely with Kiera, the design lead for this project. However, there's a whole team involved in the project, although they discuss things internally.

How did you come to work with Orizon Design?

We found them on Dribbble and read their reviews on Google. We also checked out their website and used ChatGPT to find out more about them.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in June 2025, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Orizon Design has done a fantastic job getting all the design elements right. We’re really happy with the partnership on the design phase, so we want to engage them for the explainer video as well.

How did Orizon Design perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re efficient and quick. They take feedback and iterate the design at a fast pace. Orizon Design doesn’t take a yes for everything, which is good. They ask questions and give creative insights. They give us options and explain what they think will work from a big-picture standpoint.

They meet deadlines and stay on budget. We communicate via Slack, which is very fluid. We can provide feedback on the Figma files and tag the team. We don’t have to wait for them to get back to us, which enhances the whole experience.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re very professional, creative, and detail-oriented. They take the time to understand the brand and position and translate that into beautifully designed screens. The user flows are intuitive, and the visuals are high-impact. The feel is fresh and modern, which is exactly what we had in mind.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Their prices aren’t low, but they give quality, so it’s good. There's nothing I would have them improve.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a church media resource library.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Orizon Design?

We were looking to do a complete rebuild of the frontend of our website and move to a headless WordPress implementation. We needed a dev team that could handle the design and development work. We also needed help addressing some problems with core functions of our service, like properly managing customer subscriptions.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Orizon Design has created new designs for the website in Figma, which we've approved and then handed off to a third-party contract web developer to build the site. They've been on retainer since the site launched, addressing bugs and implementing new features. The main thing they've been handling is rebuilding our broken subscription system, which was based on Easy Digital Downloads and has never worked well.

What is the team composition?

Initially, we worked with two teammates from Orizon Design: a designer and a developer. Later, a project manager was brought on after the rebuilt site launched because of communication problems.

How did you come to work with Orizon Design?

I found them through Clutch based on their review score and price range. I chose them based on their clear design and UX focus.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in February 2024, and the rebuilt site was launched in May 2025. However, we continue to keep them on retainer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We've seen a more stable website and improved UX. Our sales have continued to grow at the same pace of around 20%–25% YoY growth as before the rebuilt site was launched. Regarding the website's stability, we've seen fewer server crashes and performance drops.

How did Orizon Design perform from a project management standpoint?

The project was estimated to be a three-month project which was overly optimistic as they did not understand the full extent of the problems we've been dealing with on the site. The project ended up taking over a year.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their design team is amazing. We came to them based on their design portfolio, and they did not disappoint with their new designs for the site.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There were some communication problems early in the project. For example, we were quoted a different hourly rate in our initial calls with them than what they actually charged us. Their rate was a major factor in why we chose them, so this was frustrating. What they did not tell us upfront was that they have two different hourly rates for design and development, with development being the more expensive rate, which was the bulk of our need.

Although there have been some challenges with communication with our developer, Orizon has been eager to help create new processes and systems to make things run more smoothly which we appreciate.

That Orizon went the extra mile by doing a lot of competitor research and proposing multiple different variations for every detail so we could always discuss what made the most sense at that time and go with the best option.

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

Orizon was asked to help us develop our new brand identity and work on the UI/UX of our fully-responsive web app. They went through an audit of the current experience and extensive competitor overview to understand how we should be positioning ourselves. They tackled wire-framing, prototyping, exploring new visual languages, optimizing for retention and conversion, and fleshing out all the required screens to make sure the platform could be correctly implemented.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

• Weekly sprints with Invision and Figma deliverables hitting specific design milestones

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

Orizon was very organized and communicative from the beginning. They put together a detailed project timeline with weekly milestones that kept everyone on the same page and on track. We had some pretty aggressive targets and they delivered on time every time. And the design was was incredible.

They work very fast, but not at the expense of quality. The designs they delivered are world class. We also had weekly sprints with the design team via Zoom and they always responded quickly on Slack. There was never a time where they didn't respond. Great communication.

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

Their design work is second to none, and they move unbelievably fast. The amount of different visual directions they were able to provide us was mind boggling.

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

Orizon was fantastic.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a CEO of a sports technology company based in Canada.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Orizon Design?

We launched the beta version of our product (a mobile app), tested it in a few key markets, and then approached Orizon to help us with a new UI design that would provide a whole other level of user experience.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We searched on Clutch to find our top 5 vendors with expertise in mobile app UX/UI design. We then followed up with a review of each vendor's design portfolio and a meeting with the design team.

This helped us narrow our choices down to 3. From there, the final decision was based on 4 factors: location, client reviews, design portfolio and cost.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

Orizon has a comprehensive project management framework, beginning with a kickoff meeting, followed by and audit of your company vs. competitors. Next, wireframes were presented and finalized, followed by the visual design exploration and then finalization.

There was constant communication throughout to ensure the team was moving in the right direction. Once completed, Orizon handed off a complete design file with all the tools my tech team needed to implement the design in the app.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

My team worked directly with one of their UX/UI designers, as well as a project manager.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Orizon did an amazing job! They listened to our needs and objectives and produced a new UI design that perfectly matched our vision. We launched the new design in January and user feedback about the new design has been fantastic!

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The majority of the project work was done using Slack. It was easy to post visual examples and comments using this platform, allowing both our teams to work efficiently and effectively.

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

Their UX/UI design portfolio impressed us the most. They clearly had the vision and the expertise needed to help us reach our objectives. We also liked that they had a business model that allowed them to work quickly; providing high quality results in a matter of weeks, not months.

The ability to work quickly with excellent results is critical for tech startups.

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

No areas for improvement. Overall, the project progressed nicely and was a success.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Creative Director at an Arts & Entertainment company located in Vancouver Canada.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Orizon Design, and what were your goals?

We wanted to develop and mobile app that ties into the music side of our company. The app is called Humm Token and it allows users to purchase a royalty share in a song and trade it like a stock. Our primary goal is to create alternate revenue streams for recording artists to generate an income without having to sacrifice their earnings to a traditional label.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We did an extensive search for Mobile App Developers in Canada and narrowed it down to 5 major companies, Orizon being one of them. After interviews and a few phone calls, it was clear that Orizon was the best choice for us based on the timeline they provided and the price point offered. Orizon being incredibly prepared and having some of the best design aesthetics in the industry was just icing on the cake.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

The initial stage of our contract was for 6 weeks and the primary deliverables were to create the user interface and user experience. We had weekly meetings over Google Meet to collaborate on ideas and see the progress of the project every step of the way. We now are looking at starting a second contract with Orizon to finalize the App Development on the back end.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We were assigned a project Manager and Creative lead along with a handful of UI/UX Developers that would participate in every meeting.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

Currently, our App is only finished the design stage but what has been completed so far from Orizion far exceeded my expectations. My team and I feel that all the deliverables we have received truly reflect all the initial conversations we had in regards to the design and feel of the project.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

For our project, we used Slack as our primary method of direct messaging for any notes or thoughts we had on the project. Additionally, we would have a scheduled meeting every Monday over Google Meet to discuss the project's current standing and where we are taking it. Overall Orizon was very diligent in replying to our messages or phone calls and was quick to upload any files we needed to review to progress the project along.

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

Their presentation and Ui/Ux design abilities initially were the things that caught my eye from Orizon, but a few weeks into working with them the thing that really impressed me the most was the team's ability to turn around our concepts so quickly into a tangible thing. Additionally, the attention to detail put into every potential option we had to pick from was incredible. They really know what they are doing and how best to implement each idea.

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

As of right now, I have no complaints I think the entire project so far has been a massive success.
