Client Testimonials
“I have high expectations in general for myself, my own work and my team but you exceeded that easily. I've worked for high-quality agencies and corporations and I think you, your work quality, your process is just as good if not better. It was REALLY nice not to have to micromanage AND still get great results.”
— Bequestate
“We've been delighted with the work! The team were able to deliver their thinking and process clearly / succinctly, negating all overwhelm. Their recommendations were very helpful and we have really enjoyed the process.”
— Anyone
“We've worked with (and interviewed) a lot of User Experience designers, and they are by far in the top 0.1% of all Ux folks out there.”

TAILORU helps us to go from nothing to a working concept in a matter of weeks. That’s hard to find in the startup land. It’s borderline magical.
— Kuristo
“As an early-stage company, there are a lot of challenges that come with working with outside agencies. But for us, TAILORU has just been this sort of shining light because it's been such an unbelievable experience.
You believed in what we are doing and have done so much more than what we hired you to do.
In the UX and UI work, you did it with integrity and a tremendous amount of care. It wasn't just like ‘Oh, this is a job. We've got to do it.’ There's a deep care for the amount of effort that's put in and it's really apparent, and I think that it allows us to be more open and vulnerable with TAILORU and it allows us to just collaborate together in a stronger manner.
It's meant a lot, having that level of trust with an outside agency is both rare and it's not something I take lightly. It's something that I have a lot of respect and value for. We're just very grateful.”
