Audrey Thomas Product Manager at Supplier.io

UI/UX Design Review from Audrey Thomas
Highland is a great partner. The sought to deeply understand our product, customers, and pain points and built a number of forward looking opportunities for us in addition to the tight scope of our project. Proactive, thoughtful, responsive, and flexible. We are a small team and found lots of value in working with Highland to get our UX refresh project up and running.
✨ Liz Pisney ✨ Vice President, Member Experience at ISACA
4.8★
UI/UX Design Review from ✨ Liz Pisney ✨
We recently partnered with Highland on research and prototypes for a new information architecture on a volunteer resources site for our Chapter leaders. Having over 3000 volunteers around the globe can introduce a lot of nuance and complexity to research and design processes. The team at Highland handled it all skillfully - focusing on how to deliver the most clarity and usability to our audience. 10 out of 10, I would recommend working with the Highland team!
Lee Wiensch, CAE, CFRE Executive Director at Thoracic Surgery Foundation
5.0★
Webflow Review from Lee Wiensch, CAE, CFRE
We had a great experience working with the team at Highland to develop a new website for the Thoracic Surgery Foundation, a charitable organization aimed at advancing heart and lung health for all. Highland worked with us to re-imagine a dated website with limited functionality, and developed a a gorgeous new site that beautifully reflects the vitality of the organization. We anticipate that our award applicants, donors, surgeons and grateful patients will be able to easily navigate the new site and have a much-improved user experience. Jeff Blanchard and his team were exceptionally good listeners, and worked hard to create solutions for our complicated awards program. They provided good training to our team throughout the process so that we have been able to keep things updated and easily make changes now that the site has launched. I am grateful for their patience and very quick turnaround as we juggled a new strategic plan and new branding, all at the time of the website creation. I have been continually impressed with the expertise and the innovation that Highland brings to a project like ours. It was a pleasure to launch this site -- on time and on budget -- with their excellent work and support.

Branding Review from Abby Smith, TMP
Our business has been working with id8 since late 2023, and their team has always been timely, organized and professional. The first time they unveiled our new logo, it was like Christmas morning! Since then, we've worked with them on complex projects like building a new website, coordinating photo shoots and updating signage for our office. Those are just a few of the things they have done for us, and they have always been so thoughtful and diligent in how they approach each project. Their approach is rooted in research and data, so we can feel confident we are making the right choices. Our meetings are always fun and lively, because the whole team is so personable. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with them!

I have been working with Id8 for a few years now and it has been a truly wonderful experience. The team consistently goes above and beyond to accommodate our needs and is always brainstorming new ideas to elevate our marketing and branding presence. They are incredibly professional, responsive, and genuinely enjoyable to work with. Id8 has become a trusted ally for our company and we look forward to continuing our partnership with them.
Adam N Review from Google

Adam N's Review Sourced from Google
id8 was an absolute pleasure to work with. I had coordinated with Brandi on getting a new logo made for multiple avenues I wanted to pursue and she was able to help me design a logo/brand that I'm totally in love with. From the very beginning and all the way to the end, she was always able to deliver, provide feedback and execute stunning design options that were all so good. She was also able to take my logo/branding goals of being versatile and transforming those ideas into concepts that spoke volume.Though making a decision on just one design out of a couple was hard in the end, I eventually went with one that had the best look and feel that represented what my brand needed to be. I would highly recommend id8 for any graphic design work as they are awesome at creating designs that have a deeper philosophical meaning that will make anyone appreciate the reasonings behind what they create.

Working with them is such a close-knit and communicative process. We're the type of client that prefers to be very involved at each step, and they make it very easy to follow along. They have a Monday board where we can see our progress on the full project dashboard. We never feel like we dont know whats going on.Its great to have a project manager who brings all the pieces together so that we can see the bigger picture. They email, text, and conduct weekly calls to keep us up-to-date. We also had the chance to work and meet with them in-person.

We provide websites for small towns and water systems, and we have worked with Dialogs for well over 10 years. Our entire business runs on the platform they've developed and customized for us, and which they continue to develop and improve to meet the latest trends and requirements.

They care about our business, they're able to understand and anticipate our business objectives, as well as the needs of our customers and their residents -- and bring it all to reality. We have worked with many development teams over the years, and the expertise and professionalism that Dialogs brings to the table is unmatched. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

Melissa Asplund's Review Sourced from Google
I had the pleasure of collaborating with Design in Mind on an extensive eBook focused on AI Chip Development for our campaign. Their professionalism and talent were evident throughout the process, as they transformed our ideas into a cohesive and high-performing piece of collateral.The project was ambitious, spanning 60 pages and involving input from 50 internal stakeholders, which made the journey both lengthy and complex. However, Design in Mind expertly integrated all contributions, ensuring a seamless flow in tone and style. Their strategic insights on tightening character counts and combining sections were invaluable, enhancing the overall clarity and impact of the content.As a result of their exceptional work, this eBook has become our most downloaded asset of Q3, driving a remarkable 22% year-over-year increase in traffic to our AI section of the website. If you’re seeking a remarkable partner to elevate your concepts into beautifully crafted and designed content, I highly recommend reaching out to Katie and the talented team at Design in Mind!

Reviews verified by DesignRush and sourced from the agency's profile View All Reviews
A project management company oversees, plans, and executes temporary endeavors, known as projects, for clients. Its primary role is making sure a project is completed on time, within budget, and meets all defined scope and quality requirements. As part of the service, project management consulting firms also manage resources, assign talent, control risks, and coordinate communication among stakeholders.
How long does a typical project management initiative take?
There is no typical duration for project management initiatives, as the project's length is determined by its unique objectives and constraints. Namely, small initiatives like a software patch update can take a few weeks, whereas large-scale initiatives such as engineering infrastructure or developing a new product line may take a year.
Are there additional costs for project management consulting services?
Yes, there may be additional costs beyond the consultant's core fee, including reimbursement for expenses like travel and accommodation if the consultant works on-site, or charges for necessary project-specific items like specialized software licenses or materials.
With a cost-plus contract, the client explicitly pays for the consultant's time plus all project expenses, whereas fixed-fee contracts typically bundle most costs together, making the final price more predictable.
What questions should I ask a project management consulting firm before hiring?
Here are some questions you should ask before hiring a project management consulting firm:
Can you walk me through a similar project you completed for a company in our sector?
What is your non-negotiable process for keeping the project on schedule?
How often will we meet and receive progress update?
What are the all-in costs, including your fees, travel, and any necessary software?
Who will be overseeing our project, and what is their background?
How will you train our team to maintain the project deliverables after you leave?
What tools and technologies do project management companies use?
Project management companies use specialized software for setting, organizing, tracking, and executing projects, such as Jira, ClickUp, Asana, Trello, Monday.com, and Microsoft Project. These platforms facilitate key functions like task management, resource allocation, time tracking, and risk assessment.
Additionally, they utilize collaborative technologies like shared documents and communication tools to provide good team coordination and stakeholder alignment.
