A health and wellness business needed a high-fidelity prototype designed for their mobile app. They partnered with Cieden in order to provide the necessary services including wireframing and user flow-mapping.
The Cieden team under-promised and over-delivered, completing the project ahead of schedule and exceeded all expectations. Despite worries over the time difference, the team managed the situation effectively, maintaining a seamless flow of communication between the two parties during the project.

BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am a co-founder of a health and wellness business. Our platform aims to reward consumers for leading active lifestyles, and helps instill lasting habits. As a founder, I'm responsible for product management and choosing the right team to work with is a critical decision.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Cieden?
Our business was looking to have a high-fidelity prototype designed for our mobile application, including wireframing and user flow-mapping. Our idea was still in the concept/customer discovery phase so we needed an experienced team to challenge and fortify our business model before even beginning the design process.
What were your goals for this project?
Create a high-fidelity prototype to show investors, developers, and prospects. Keeping the design simple/minimalistic was also important, despite the details necessary to achieve a successful collaborative project.
SOLUTION
How did you select Cieden?
Our team searched online for individual freelancers as well as UX/UI design agencies. Based on reviews and prior work, Cieden and Iryna came highly recommended.
We were confident with our choice due to the team's track record of success and strong reviews on Upwork. After a few screening calls, we felt comfortable in Iryna and team's fundamental understanding of UX design and business strategy.
We considered 2 agencies and 3 freelancers.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
The team exceeded expectations and delivered the final prototype ahead of schedule and budget. A good example of under-promising and over-delivering.
