BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there. 

I’m the president and founder of a social gaming platform.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with daviann?

We initially started in 2015, and we're in the process of transitioning the platform on to blockchain technology.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

daviann provides UI/UX design for our new platform. Using React for the website, they do a significant amount of programming and integrations with our other systems. They developed the mobile experience in both iOS and Android. They also led a complete branding redesign. 

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with a total of seven members of their team. Almost their entire staff worked full-time on our project for about nine months.

How did you come to work with daviann? 

I originally found them on Upwork. Their portfolio blew me away, so I reached out to the owner and scheduled a conference call. I told them what we were looking for and they immediately made us a priority. 

How much have you invested with them?

I’ve spent over $100,000—probably closer to $125,000 at this point.

What is the status of this engagement? 

We started working together in February 2018, and it’s an ongoing collaboration.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

It's premature to discuss the actual measurable results, but they’re literally the best people I've ever worked with. The deliverables they’re providing are outstanding. 

How did daviann perform from a project management standpoint? 

Hitting deadlines is never an issue at all. While Slack is our primary management tool, they actually flew over here from Ukraine to meet with us for a week as well.

What did you find most impressive about them? 

Their branding work is great, and the UX/UI is so impressive. Their designers are extremely talented. In addition to the quality of their work, we’ve actually developed a fantastic friendship as well.

Are there any areas they could improve? 

No, I can't think of anything off of the top of my head. Their strengths are primarily in the branding and design. We didn't use them enough on the programming side to give any feedback on that.
