BEWARE! They change their name to run away from past failures! (of course they say those people no longer work for them, but this is Design Concepts from the past)Do your homework and get everything they promise in WRITING! (especially the TIME FRAME!) "
Sharron Kuntz's Review Sourced from Google
One of the best design firms around! Stef and the team took the time to figure out out needs, as well as our customer needs before diving into our project. They are top notch and I recommend them to everyone that asks me if I know of a ‘good’ design firm. My reply? No, but I know of the BEST design firms! Keep up the great work! "
John Kuehl's Review Sourced from Google
I’ve worked with Delve on a number of product commercialization initiatives with great results. Highly recommend. Very high integrity, talented team with the ability to lead from the very early-stage research phases all the way through detailed engineering. "
Chad Sorenson's Review Sourced from Google
One of the most professional organizations I've had the pleasure to work with. Their work on a major project for us had a material impact on the outcome for our company. Highly recommended! "
Ken Martin's Review Sourced from Google
I met a Director named Stefanie Norvaisas one time, and she was so pretentious without knowing who I was that I never want to deal with this company again. Unprofessional. "
