    The client submitted this review online.

    BACKGROUND

    Please describe your company and your position there.

    I'm the co-founder and CTO of a Fintech / Blockchain platform. We are creating and customizing blockchain payment processing services. We also have partnerships with other vendors and using our portal to sell their solutions.

    OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

    For what projects/services did your company hire Adam Fard UX Studio?

    We had an MVP but wanted to rethink the product and redesign it from scratch. During the investor presentation and beta testing, we noticed many issues with the usability of that MVP. We didn't have any UX or product design expertise and needed a partner to help us with that challenge.

    What were your goals for this project?

    We wanted to improve the usability and make the product unique. Our customers are tech-savvy but we wanted to stand out from competitors by providing a user-first experience.

    SOLUTION

    How did you select this vendor?

    I read a series of articles from their website and followed their activity on LinkedIn. After a couple of exchange and first introductory call with the team, we decided to work with them. Their approach is different from other agencies we approached.

    Describe the project in detail.

    We presented our product, early research we did, along with the first feedback and milestones we were planning to hit. Adam Fard Studio conducted a first design sprint with our team. They then tested an early prototype and iterate with another workshop and testing. Unfortunately, we couldn't implement that solution entirely because of some new technical difficulties we were not aware of. The team was reactive and after some quick iterations, they showed us a new solution, which was positively validated during the tests with users. They then work on the visual elements, assets, and specs for our devs.

    What was the team composition?

    Lead UX Designer, UX Designer and Researcher

    RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

    Positive feedback from our beta users and investors. Many important features are now understood.

    How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

    It was very easy to communicate with them. We used email, Slack, Hangouts, and Figma. We were always updated with the progress and had scheduled a weekly call.

    What did you find most impressive about this company?

    Their expertise. They understand our business, value proposition, and USP. They were incredibly creative and not afraid to try new or uncommon solutions out. The remote communication was also really efficient.

    Are there any areas for improvement?

    I don't think so. We were very happy with the process and our collaboration.
