Case Studies

We’ve been in your shoes before. We weren’t always consultants, most of us come from corporate entities where we had to do exactly what you’re doing right now. We know what it’s like to evaluate a consultancy and wonder if it’s worth the effort or money to hire someone to help with your problem. It can feel risky, we get it.

So we created some case studies for you. Interviews and testimonials from the mouths of our clients. No sales job here, just other people relaying their experience with Stoked or with using design tools to solve problems. We want to be matched with perfect clients just like you want to be matched with the perfect design firm.

Hopefully this feels helpful in making your decision either way.
