A women's health company was launching a new product. We engaged Guidea to help research this new segment of users who the product is intended for, and design a new app experience to set up the physical product, use the physical product and receive the results.

We were able to work with Guidea's designs to deliver the app experience in a very tight timeline. The product has sold well in the market so far and we have received high net promoter scores from users.

Guidea knew we were on a tight timeframe and worked with us to be able to deliver on time. They were able to incorporate feedback from all team members on the designs. Our product is one of the first of its kind in the market so we were starting from scratch in a lot of respects from the design we appreciated their willingness to iterate.

Working in the women's health space as we do, there is usually such a knowledge gap working with other companies. However, Guidea's women's health experience is so extensive that we felt that we were talking the same langauge and it was fast to get started. They already understood the mindsets of our users as well as basic biological concepts.

Given our tight timeframes, I'm not sure that anything else could have been accomplished. They were great communicators and we appreciated the depth of their experience in our industry.

By collaborating with Guidea we were able to launch modernized user experiences in a rapid pace:

Three words can describe Guidea - organized, reliable, and professional. Every proejct had a clear set of project deliverables, timelines, and decision points.

My experience with Guidea was one I look fondly on; we did some really amazing work together.

I’m a senior manager at Evernorth, a pharmacy solutions company.

We wanted strong staff augmentation for a UI/UX design project.

Guidea provides UI/UX design staff augmentation for us. We’re looking for strong designers who can contribute to our team and help our culture. Based on those requirements, the team finds resources, sees if they’re a good fit, and signs them.

We’ve worked with 5–6 members of Guidea’s team throughout the process, including Darrell (Principal UX Designer).

Someone referred Guidea to me.

We started working together in January 2023, and the engagement is ongoing.

Guidea's work has helped us save time and money. The design system they've implemented has a ton of benefits, which Darrell has done a great job working through. The team has also helped us with research to have a greater footprint in our organization, which leads to savings because they've found the right problems to solve.

Guidea has delivered on time and within budget. Regarding communication, we use Jira, phone calls, and emails.

Darrell is one super strong teammate who is amazing and has helped us a lot. Darrell has built our design system and helped upskill our entire team on UX best practices. He has also made himself the expert on the team to reach out to us with a very thoughtful approach.

Guidea's staff augmentation has been great in other capacities. I've had minimal oversight since they're pretty self-sufficient, which is helpful because I don't have to be so hand-holding compared to other vendors. The team is good at engaging me when they need me or just keeping me updated on their work and telling me how to support them.

I don't think there's anything they can improve on. We've rolled off some resources and rolled on some others who were slightly better, and we could've reduced costs by just getting the right person from the get-go. Still, Guidea has been pretty receptive to that and has gotten the better candidates for us.

I recommend being upfront and candid about what you need. That way, Guidea will be able to provide support from their design perspective.

While we do not have a quantitative way of measuring success on design projects, the team from Guidea was instrumental in designing the dashboard that our customers use and led to hundreds of thousands of revenue dollars. They also played a key role in building the design system which has made the design and engineering teams about 30% more efficient than they used to be.

Jess was always thorough and incredibly detail oriented in her work and always managed to finish projects and deliver items on item. She went above and beyond what was asked to deliver high quality work while managing her own timeline and priorities really well.

My primary contact at Guidea checked in with me regularly to ensure the projects were progressing smoothly and that the partnership was working.They also supported us in finding the right designer with prior experience that matched our needs well.

No, everything went very smoothly, and I could not be happier with the deliverables.

Guidea was able to quickly understand our market and value proposition and were able to hit the ground running. Overall, they were quickly engaged and effective at hitting milestones.

Nothing comes to mind.
