I had a working prototype for my startup, but it was hideous. Being an engineer by trade, creative design and UX wasn't my strong suit.

I wanted a cohesive brand identity that expressed the story that I wanted to tell, including a new logo, typography, colors, brand personality, illustrations, on top of a new look and feel.

Hiring a full time product designer is time consuming and expensive for an early stage bootstrapped company, and wasn't a luxury I could afford at the time. Services like dribbble and behance seem great, but I wasn't sure that I could get the support and feeling of working with a team.

Initially, we looked at existing Pixel True case studies and designs and soon after, we fell in love with the process and the work that Pixel True produced.

I initially came across PixelTrue while browsing hackernews, and ran across one of their illustration packs. That led me to the website where I learned more about their designers, processes, commitments, and prices.

It was everything I wanted at the time so I reached out, and I had a great conversation with Andy who helped clarify a lot of my uncertainties. I tried out the service for a week and was very impressed with the result, and I've been a happy customer ever since.

Have a conversation with Andy, and engage with the team on a small project to get a sense of their capabilities. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!
