We DesignCredibility

One of the best service providers I've worked with.

"Top-tier guys, super reliable, actually one of the best service providers I've worked with. You come up with stuff that feels like you're the experts, and it's much better than any of us could ever think through."

Tribe is more than a design agency.

"I pride myself on only recommending things I believe in and trust, and Tribe is the top of that list for me. Tribe is more than a design agency. It's a team member that understands what you do and can build things that are extremely visually appealing, but also understands what design should mean and do for a user. And I think that's irreplaceable."

Design stopped being something we had to think about all the time.

"Speed to production was a huge difference, because I think a lot of folks who work with design agencies or brand agencies, the fear is that you're going to get into this like psychology experiment for three months and then come out with a concept, but nothing that actually helps you move the business forward. That wasn't the experience I had with Tribe."

They wouldn't let us settle.

"I had a very clear idea of what I wanted LevelUp Labs to stand for, and the Tribe team really helped bring that to life in a way that feels uniquely ours. We went through several iterations of the mascot, and they wouldn't let us settle. There were points where even I was ready to say, this is good enough, but they kept pushing until it actually felt good."

Design is the last thing I have to worry about.

"Are you kidding me? This was a no-brainer retainer. We basically get the output of a full-time design team without the overhead of having to hire, manage, and train them. I don't know how to manage designers. I don't know how to give them good design feedback. And it feels like I've basically outsourced that part of my brain to Tribe. Design is the last thing I have to worry about, thanks to Tribe."

You're basically getting an integrated design function.

"We've worked with a lot of different designers at a variety of skill levels. Tribe is one of the top ones in terms of being able to take hold of the problem and just run it through and through. You're basically getting an integrated design function at a company, which is honestly hard to come by."

Without Tribe, we'd be three or four months behind.

"You guys did a really good job at helping us beat our deadline, so we could launch things and get feedback. Without you guys, we'd probably be three or four months behind in our overall timeline — which frankly would not be good."

Absolutely great working with Tribe.

"The simplicity with which you've boiled down the process makes it feel like we're not working with an external design team at all, but like we've hired a fully formed, in-house department ready to handle every design need."

This is top-tier design at pre-success prices.

"I've worked with some incredibly talented designers at a very high level, from senior to staff, and honestly, your design work is right up there at the same level. I feel lucky to have you now because in a few years, I'm not sure we'll be able to afford you."

It makes my firm look and feel what it is.

"We were able to display who we were, and everyone's like, wow, your website's amazing. I've even had a couple of people at bigger firms in management say — oh my gosh Michael, your website's better than ours."
