      Right after launching our campaigns with Disruptive, we saw results almost instantly. Our monthly revenue jumped from about $50,000 to over $70,000. Every key Google Ads metric improved, and by November, we were already nearing $550,000 in revenue, well on track to hit our $700,000 annual goal.

      Product Design Review from Manuel Colom

      Working with ANML on the Yummly app experience and the Yummly Smart Thermometer (IoT) was an outstanding collaboration. Yummly combined personalized recipe discovery, meal planning, and guided cooking into a highly curated food experience, while the Smart Thermometer extended that ecosystem into connected cooking with real-time temperature tracking and assisted preparation workflows. As Director of UX at Yummly, I worked closely with ANML throughout both initiatives, and they operated almost as a seamless extension of our internal design team. Their work consistently demonstrated excellent design craft, strong product thinking, and a highly collaborative mindset. Beyond delivering high-quality UX and visual design, their contribution helped sharpen and strengthen the overall value proposition of the products by making complex cooking experiences feel approachable, premium, and intuitive for users.

      Web Design Review from Nathan Thornburgh

      As Anthony Bourdain's partners, we were approached by CNN to create an immersive digital site that would provide a beautiful home for each destination covered by Bourdain's show Parts Unknown. It was a huge task not least because there were already close to 100 destinations to integrate into a usable global site. But also because the site was meant to live up to the beauty and aesthetic of the television program. And it needed to be done in a way that satisfied both our mainstream luxury advertisers (like LandRover, ANA, and more) but also the famously high standards of Bourdain himself. ANML engaged in this 18-month design and build process with outstanding workmanship and creative decision-making. They navigated wildly different and demanding stakeholders. And in the end they built a site that still looks fresh even nearly a decade later. If you want to make lasting work, there is no one else I could recommend more.

      We partnered with ANML to evolve our digital experience in a way that stayed true to our brand while modernizing how we present our products and story. As a company with a long history in music, it was important to find a partner who could respect that legacy while helping us move forward.ANML took the time to understand our brand, our audience, and the role our products play for musicians. They built on our existing foundation and translated it into a more cohesive and intuitive experience that better reflects who we are today.Their team brought strong thinking across UX and design, helping us improve how content is structured, how products are presented, and how users navigate the experience. The collaboration was smooth and highly responsive throughout.The end result is a more polished and modern experience that still feels authentic to our brand. ANML was a thoughtful and reliable partner, and we would highly recommend them.

      Brand Design Review from Jevan Lautz

      We partnered with Zamora Design to update our branding and improve how our company is presented to clients. Borja was very attentive during the discovery phase, asking the right questions to understand not just our brand, but also how we interact with our customers.The final designs were polished and professional, and they gave us a more consistent identity across our client materials. We noticed an immediate difference in how prospects responded to our proposals and presentations.One area that could be improved is adding a bit more variety in the initial concept stage. However, the revisions we received quickly addressed our feedback, and the process stayed on track without delays.Overall, Zamora Design proved to be a reliable partner who blends creativity with a strong sense of business needs. We would recommend them to any company looking for branding that feels both modern and practical.

      Brand Strategy Review from Greg Smith

      We partnered with Zamora Design to redesign our pitch deck and create a more professional brand identity. From the start, Borja worked directly with us, which gave the project a very personal and strategic touch. He didnt just design slides; he helped us sharpen our story, improve clarity, and highlight the most important metrics that investors care about.The process was smooth and highly collaborative. Borja was transparent with timelines, gave clear milestones, and consistently delivered ahead of schedule. The new deck and refreshed branding made an immediate impactwe presented to investors with confidence and successfully closed funding shortly after.What stood out the most was how ROI-focused the design was. Everything created wasnt just beautiful but also functional, ensuring our message converted. This is rare in design agencies.I would highly recommend Zamora Design to any startup or business that needs strategic storytelling and high-quality design. The investment was more than worth it.

      I've enjoyed working with Artisan both on internal projects and being placed with clients through them. While they don't see the same number of roles as some of the bigger companies, they do tend to get jobs with higher pay rates than some of the other staffing agencies - and definitely advocate for the talent when it comes to dealing with clients. I would definitely recommend getting in touch if you're looking for work in a digital/creative role.

      I worked for Artisan as a Contract Copywriter for more than three years. The team did an excellent job finding me a contract with an outstanding company. In addition to a great placement, Artisan provided me with very good benefits, including 401K and some paid time off, which is unusual in the industry. I highly recommend Artisan to anyone who is looking for contract work.

      In a world of agencies that are mostly out for a quick buck, they build relationships on both the client and talent side. It is a refreshing change of pace to see such integrity. They are fair and honest people that I worked with for years. If you are looking for talent, or have a talent, I can not recommend them more.
