BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CEO of AZ Stretch, a stretching app available on the App Store & Google Play that provides personalized stretching programs.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Ash Studio?

We hired Ash Studio to completely design our app & website from scratch. It was a challenge as we wanted to have a very clean & professional design while being very user-friendly. We only had wireframes or ideas, but nothing was already made. Therefore, Ash Studio needed to be innovative and create our brand.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We were hiring freelancers, and after a few profiles, we really had a fall from them. They looked professional and friendly, and their designs looked awesome. We decided to try them out, and we never looked back.

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

The first step was getting to know me and understanding my vision & product. Therefore, they had a great questionary and we did some meetings. They did market research and they came up with several logos & graphical chart ideas, and I selected one of them. The second step was creating the designs from our wireframes on Figma. They perfectly knew the process and we constructed screen by screen the entire app. They used Lottie to have cool animations.

The third step was to create the Figma design for the website. Here, they did intensive competitive research to find new innovative ideas to visualize our features. The result was amazing. Finally, they created on Figma all the design assets that we would need for the stores and marketing. Once again here, they went through the whole process of analyzing the industry and my competitors to provide me with the best possible assets.

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

I worked with Sonya, the CEO of Ash Studio, and from time to time with other employees. Sonya took care of most of the work and is still working on my project.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The best demonstration of success is the "wow" feeling when you open the app and go through it. That's what the design gives you. Regarding progress, the app has been constantly evolving, with new features being added, and others improving, and we're still working on building some more.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The communication process is very smooth. We mainly used Notion to provide them with instructions, and they would add any questions they might have. We also used Figma to give feedback. Finally, if needed, we would go through direct messages and phone calls, but most of the time this wasn't needed.

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

Their ideas. They have great ideas to improve what you have in mind and make your product more functional. This is proof that they know their field of work, and are able to understand the work you do.

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

At some point, they were limited on staff, but they were able to quickly find resources for my project. It ended up not disturbing the project.
