We started with a two-week rapid ideation session to determine the necessary functionalities and produce wireframes. When it was ready, we switched to a visual concept.

The collaboration was completely remote, so we only communicated online. Their team was highly responsive whenever we had inquiries; they answered our emails in a few hours or less, depending on the urgency of the matter. We gave feedback on their deliverables, which they effectively incorporated into the revisions. They were also very helpful in suggesting how to tackle certain issues and display the designs.

What was your primary form of communication with Rasa Design Team?

• Email or Messaging App

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

I think given that the team overall is quite young, they do a fantastic job of delivering on highly technical design scope. They are quick to understand the design objectives, and even when some of the solutions may be a bit ambiguous at first, the designers come up with various options and alternatives. This enables a collaborative framework to discuss, debate and down-select on the optimal design solutions.

In addition, they are not afraid to throw out ideas or re-do designs to get to a more ideal solution. The team is also very communicative, and once the project flow is started, the cadence is quite collaborative.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Rasa Design Team could have done differently?

I think the team is great at taking requirements and running with it. I would say depending on the design task, it would be helpful to have more upfront discussions and drill down for complex design scope so there isn't as many revisions. I think also taking into account modern software development strategies will help with design refinement as they relate to implementation plans down the road.
