Design Brewery

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder and CEO of Jajal Medical. We’re a medical device company that converts CT scans into 3D models. Whenever there’s a serious condition, this is one of the key components of our complex surgeries and understanding anatomies.

First, the surgeons upload the CT scan. Based on that, we create a 3D model of the patient’s anatomy and provide this open visualization to the surgeon, the patient, and everyone who is part of the healthcare ecosystem.

What challenge were you trying to address with Design Brewery?

We needed someone to create a very simple yet powerful interface that communicated exactly what we do. This platform was something that didn’t exist, but there was a global need for it. We needed it to support very smooth transitions and wanted to build it using My Segmenter.

The platform had to work for surgeons, patients, and 3D printing partners. It had to have a very appealing look as well as an interface that people liked.

We had a high-level concept of what we needed. Even though we had an in-house web development team, we needed help to build the entire UI/UX platform for this.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Design Brewery went through an iterative process to really understand our different customers, what we do, and our problems. They made sure that our branding, colors, and our presentation were accurate and perfect.

The final output is a functional dummy website. It’s a completely cloud-based platform where our development team is able to implement using the UI that Design Brewery has done. It’s a collaborative effort between Design Brewery and our in-house team.

Design Brewery made a suggestion that we should have everything, including the pricing, on our main page. Since what we do is confusing, we don’t want users to have to scroll around to find all the information.

On the main page, we created an animation that clearly explains our services. Users can immediately drag and drop their files and get started. They also suggested that we use Three.js as our backend engine for the visualization side.

What is the team composition?

I’ve worked with the founder and CEO, a senior UI/UX lead, and another UI/UX person.

How did you come to work with Design Brewery?

I had seen some of Design Brewery’s work in my previous organization, and I was very impressed with it. When I started my company, I never thought I’d be able to afford them. However, I reached out to them, and they were really flexible. They wanted to work with me and said we’d figure out the money aspect.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested around $2,000–$3,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in August 2019, and the main project lasted until April 2020. Our partnership is ongoing because there’s always work with changes and updates.

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

We consider Design Brewery a great partner when it comes to UI/UX development — their work is phenomenal.

After we launched our platform, we got orders from customers asking us to develop their UI/UX. People say it’s an amazing experience. It is exactly what we wanted, and we’re very happy about our relationship with them.

How did Design Brewery perform from a project management standpoint?

Design Brewery is right on time. Sometimes, we’re slow on our side because we have to collect data from customers or surgeons. However, as soon as we confirm the data, they start working.

We use Figma to communicate, which has made the process faster. It makes it easy for all of us to communicate and share information. They send us a message whenever they update something.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I admire the simplicity in Design Brewery’s designs. It takes a lot of time and energy to put something in a way that customers really want, However, They understand very well the need for very clean and impactful tools.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing that I’d have them improve.

Any advice for potential customers?

Define the scope clearly, and they’ll stay on top of it once they’re on board.
