      Web Design Review from Jo Maney

      DDC has been an excellent partner since we engaged with them in 2023. The DDC team worked with us to completely redesign our website and work to provide ongoing digital marketing services. The DDC team has been responsive, proactive, and thorough with their work. They are also very transparent about how they operate and how much time special projects will require. We have referred DDC to several clients and partners thanks to their outstanding process and product. DDC is a very professional, creative, and well-organized team.

      Web Design Review from Sapna Doshi, Ph.D.

      My experience working with Design in DC was incredible. Everyone was friendly, approachable, and seemed to genuinely care about helping create the best possible website for my business. They were also invested in making sure the process was one in which I enjoyed and felt taken care of. The regular meetings made me feel like I was a priority and that progress was continually being made. I so appreciated the attention to detail in regards to the user experience. The collaboration in understanding my wishes and desires for the website and user experience was met with patience and paying attention to detail on my behalf. Not only were they taking my suggestions but offering their own to help me maximize the potential of my website. The design and functionality is more than what I could have imagined. I know, undoubtedly, that the work that Design in DC did for me will help my business grow. After wasting money in years past on website designers, I was worried I'd be doing hte same here. I was wrong. I don't think I'll ever need to search for another website designer group again. I would recommend this group to anyone I know. Thank you, Design in DC! It was an absolute pleasure working with all of you!

      I only had a couple of months to complete my new website project and Studio 22 met my deadline. They respond quickly, and are good communicators. They’re the only team I’ll use to update my website, and they’re easy to work with remotely. I would absolutely recommend them.

      Lee Ann Payne's Review Sourced from Google

      Our arts organization interviewed three firms and Studio 22 came out on top because their aesthetic merged that of a high-tech organization and one of an arts organization. They delivered on time and the CEO was attentive and always available either in person or remotely. When we did meet in person, they were very easy to deal with. Studio 22 was great and I can only say positive things about them. We’re continuing to work with them on other projects.

      Eleanor Davis's Review Sourced from Google

      If I could give more stars, I would. I recently worked with Corduroy on two separate documentary-style video series. Both projects involved challenging and complicated content, quick timelines, and a lot of creative problem solving. Corduroy blew me out of the water with their energy, enthusiasm, creativity, and their willingness to educate themselves and become deeply familiar with our programming and the subject matter before the process had even begun. Not only that, but they were incredible listeners - always genuinely asking for and receiving feedback, and looking to me and my team as the experts on the subject matter of the videos. Working with Corduroy felt like a real creative partnership in a way that it hasn't always with other video production companies I've worked with. And, to top it all off, they are wildly talented. The videos they produced for us are incredibly beautiful - the footage is gorgeous, they hit all the perfect key points, and the videos are educational and effective at teaching as much as they are inspiring and moving. The team is a joy to work with and talented to boot - can't recommend them highly enough!

      Tiffani Chan's Review Sourced from Google

      From the proposal stage to the final video, everyone at Corduroy were great to work with. We couldn't trust them more with producing a video that would evoke the emotions and motivation from our audience to learn more about our outreach programs. Brandon, our Producer and Director was fantastic throughout the project and we are so pleased with how he and his team transformed the untold stories of our participants into a moving and inspirational video. We definitely hope there will be more opportunities to collaborate again in the near future!

      I've worked with this San Francisco video production company on several higher-ed projects and have been extremely happy with both the process and the end product. Corduroy goes above and beyond to ensure projects are successful. They are also a pleasure to collaborate with and bring a level of passion and professionalism to projects that is truly profound.
