BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the fractional CTO and head of product at a business services company. I strategically lead product development from roadmap creation to team scaling and resource acquisition. I ensure project success, exceed milestones, and establish sustainable operational models for long-term client benefits.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Riotters?

I hired Riotters to provide a new design for a new project on a tight deadline, improve existing UI/UX, and create wireframes for engineers to consider various scenarios.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

The scope of work included a new design for a new project within a tight deadline. Their responsibilities also encompassed improving the existing UI/UX and creating wireframes to facilitate engineering considerations for various scenarios. The main deliverables for this project were a new design for the new project, improvements to the existing UI/UX, and wireframes for engineers.

What is the team composition?

We worked with two teammates from Riotters.

How did you come to work with Riotters?

I was familiar with Riotters’ work, and I had a tight deadline that didn’t lend uncertainty. They also understood how I worked because of our 5+ years of working together.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project lasted from January–May 2025.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

While we had a tight deadline, it just meant that we needed product meetings. The focused and targeted meetings, combined with our existing working relationship, allowed for fluid conversations, enabling quick planning and decision-making. Additionally, Riotters’ team effort to understand the industry helped them ask pertinent questions, further streamlining the process.

The quality of work delivered by Riotters was exceptional. Their designs were intuitive and easily understood by both users and engineers. This clarity in design, coupled with their quality of execution, directly led to a high-quality product and saved us significant time in explaining it. A notable aspect was the team’s ability to self-manage and build modules directly from the wireframes Riotters provided. The designs themselves were also described as elegant, modern, and crisp.

How did Riotters perform from a project management standpoint?

Riotters demonstrated excellent project management, particularly through their lead UI/UX individual, who was described as exceptional. They were flexible and accommodating to changes that arose during delivery. Crucially, they delivered on time and on budget. We communicated via Slack and Google Hangouts.

What did you find most impressive about them?

What I found most impressive and unique about working with Riotters was their profound investment in the project; they treated it as if it were their own, making my success their success. This level of commitment, combined with their top-notch, detail-oriented team, provided me with the flexibility to focus on the broader strategic aspects of the project. I had complete trust in their ability to manage their part without fear of failure or miscommunication.

Are there any areas they could improve?

While the project with Riotters was largely successful, the onboarding and invoicing process presented some challenges. These issues weren’t necessarily Riotters’ fault but rather stemmed from the client’s unfamiliarity with working with an international design shop and their stricter accounting protocols, which required more handholding. Specifically, the invoicing process was bumpy because, after the initial payment, no further invoices were sent until May. It would have been beneficial for Riotters to implement monthly or milestone-based invoicing, though this delay may have been due to changes that emerged during the discovery phase.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We hired Riotters to establish a new brand image that would be aligned with a new company strategy.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I knew Dawid, the CEO of Riotters before as we worked together on several projects. When finding a vendor we did some sort of a research and after interviewing couple of proposals, it was obvious for us that there is only one choice that would make sense for us. We picked Riotters because of their expertise in the filed, communication skills and high quality customer service quality.

Describe the scope of their work in detail, including any steps and the final deliverables.

Once we built a strong shared understanding of a vision of the brand, brand attributes, our likes and dislikes, they created brand image drafts. This work included multiple options of logo together with typography and brand color proposals.

After selecting a logo that was totally aligned with what we wanted, we received few digital versions of the brand image. We hesitated to ask for some amendments, however, the Riotters team turned out to be really open to hear our feedback and make some final twists.

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

I worked directly with their Designer. Other designers, leads and CEO supported them when needed.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Thanks to the new branding, we were able to kick-off a new service line and received many good words from our clients. Customers complimented our decks. They liked that is clean and different from the competitors.

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

In order to foster our communication, I was asked to join a private group chat channel on slack. It worked perfectly fine. Our communication was smooth and seamless. We were jumping on catch-ups to revisit any requests, answer questions, etc. They finished the work even before our expected timeline.

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

From day one we were under a huge impression of their ability to listen. It felt like the Riotters team really understood our needs and vision. We wanted someone that could see what we want to build and they truly did it. Also, their skills and creativity was extraordinary.

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

Everything was perfect. No need to change anything.
