Unicorn
"Guidea’s talents are extraordinary, and the quality that really distinguishes them from other consultancies is their lack of hubris. They aren’t shy about sharing recommendations based on lessons learned from past projects, which is refreshing.”
Unicorn
"We engaged Guidea for dozens of design innovation and execution projects at PayPal over a ten year time period. Their deep expertise in FinTech as well as mobile design strategy allowed us to quickly launch innovative experiences across the globe. For customers, merchants and PayPal partners including Discover, Home Depot. Starbucks and others. Their longest running success was Mobile Express Checkout, which helped provide a 33.7% spike in conversion rates for merchants and scaled to process billions in mobile payments annually by 2015. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again."
Unicorn
"Guidea has created hundreds of designs for my development team to reference. Their work is super professional. The designs are well thought out, user friendly, visually appealing, and most importantly, clearly documented for developers."
Unicorn
"Guidea has been a fantastic UX and design partner for us. What I really appreciate about the team is their creativity and problem solving throughout the course of the project. We needed to communicate complex use cases, and at each stage of the project, Guidea worked with us on innovative solutions to get this done. The team has excellent project management and communication skills as well - which helped us deliver the projects on time and within budget.”
Unicorn
"Guidea has been instrumental in partnering with our design team for the modernization of major offerings in our AI Applications portfolio. My experience with Guidea is that they bring only top-notch designers, researchers and strategists to our engagements and produce high quality results."
Unicorn
“Guidea ingrained themselves in our business to understand our enterprise users. Their team is incredibly detail oriented, and that shows in their output. "
Unicorn
"With Guidea, I always knew I was going to get high quality work, excellent communication - all on time and on budget. Their designers and researchers felt like natural extensions of the team and always impressed even the toughest stakeholders."
Unicorn
"Guidea’s creativity, partnership, responsiveness and plain hard work provided an awesome contribution to the team. I would certainly recommend your services should I have an opportunity to do so."
Unicorn
“We compared Guidea with many other strategy and design agencies. They impressed us with their experience in the digital health space. Every staff member with whom we have interacted possesses deep expertise within his or her respective fields.”
Unicorn
"Guidea did a wonderful job at really listening to what we were looking for. They made sure that whatever they designed was actually applicable and met our needs."
Unicorn
“Guidea has been instrumental in assisting with our full scale, enterprise wide transformation. From soup to nuts, there hasn't been a challenge or proposal yet that they couldn't help with, assist in, or flat out solve. In a word, Guidea is indispensable to me and the success of our design transformation.”
Unicorn
“They were able to understand a complex problem within a short timeline. The fresh ideas they brought really keyed us into better directions. They worked as a partner with us, and was as excited about our product as we are.”
Unicorn
"Their UI/UX skills are excellent. They had a deep understanding of the healthcare landscape, which was impressive."
Unicorn
“We selected Guidea as a UX partner because of their deep expertise in the digital health space and proven track record designing innovative patient and provider solutions. They have consistently delivered high quality insights, designs and human factors testing for our company, and we're looking forward to further collaboration.”
Unicorn
“Guidea energized us to reach higher and farther than we could on our own, while bringing in perspective from the industry as a respected UX veterans. They became part of our team, and corralled everyone from clinical, to UX, to analysis, design, development and QA and lead the project as though they were part of our company.”
Unicorn
"Guidea did a wonderful job at really listening to what we were looking for. They made sure that whatever they designed was actually applicable and met our needs."
Unicorn
“The team at Guidea works very well together. Collectively they have a tremendous breadth of knowledge in various creative areas. I was impressed with how they’re able to think through challenges involving complex biological data. There was no problem too difficult to for them to conquer."
Unicorn
"The project went very smoothly."
Unicorn
"They’ve always gone above and beyond. We work closely with them, and we’re really happy. My team basically considers Guidea as our team. They’re very knowledgeable in their field and are experts in usability and UX areas, information architecture, research, and wireframing. They’re top-notch."
Unicorn
"Guidea’s biggest asset is their research-driven design. Other companies might make research part of what they do, but research is the center of what Guidea does. Something that really stood out about working with Guidea was that we got their top talents working on our project, which made a huge difference."
Unicorn
"The UI designs Guidea delivered were leaps and bounds better than what we started with: grounded in user research, systematized, and beautiful. Our users loved the updates to our web app and the internal team was really excited by the momentum that work delivered."
Unicorn
"I really enjoyed that they’re a boutique design firm; they provided a personal touch and personal attention. We worked with really talented and dedicated people who listened to our needs and expectations, acting as active partners during those discussions, and creating a very collaborative environment."
Unicorn
"Working with Guidea was one of the best decisions we’ve made, because of the breadth of experience that they have working in different industries. They brought all of that knowledge and insight to bear and really delivered some powerful insights on specific questions that helped guide the product strategy."
Unicorn
The team is flexible and adapts its approach to suit the individuality of the challenge. Guidea (A Theresa Neil Design Company) does not rely on scripted approaches and instead addresses each project on a case by case basis. It always felt as if they were highly engaged and thinking about the problem as thoughtfully as we were. They are one of the most creative vendors I’ve had the opportunity to work with."
Unicorn
"With Guidea, we were very clear and confident on what direction we needed to take after the project was completed."
Unicorn
"Guidea has provided a huge amount of work, which is super helpful for us as an early-stage tech group. They’ve certainly accelerated our scalability from a product perspective."
Unicorn
“From day one, Guidea consistently blew away our team’s idea of what a strategic partner could be.”
Unicorn
"In my 20+ years of new product development I’ve never worked with a better UX design team than Guidea. They set the standard. Their designs for us in the early days of Onit were spot on. When engaging a designer, it’s relatively easy to determine from a portfolio whether they generate attractive designs. But, it’s very difficult to judge how well their designs successfully solve problems. Theresa’s team demonstrated a rapid understanding of our domain specific issues. That was particularly challenging given that we were inventing new ways to solve a wide set of workflow problems that we didn’t fully ourselves. Guidea’s work was timely, professional and always presented in a way that made review with users and internal stakeholders exceptionally easy."
Unicorn
"They are experts in design thinking and taking a step back to truly understand user needs to develop a solution that doesn't just become an artifact, but instead develop a plan of action to bring the idea to life in near term and future iterations."
Unicorn
"Guidea ended up being exactly what we needed. They were able to ramp up quickly on the domain, leverage our work to date, and worked closely with product management and engineering to really accelerate our product timelines. This is the second time I have worked with Guidea and both product launches have been extremely successful, not only from a vendor-supplier partnership perspective, but more importantly because the end result of the project was extremely well received by both the market and our user base."
Unicorn
"The insights from the project were incredibly valuable. In fact, we have pivoted slightly and with more intense focus on a particular area of the product/solution. Rebecca and team were fantastic - full of great insights, detailed work artifacts, and moved with speed and precision. Our team at Protect AI has grown and we've used the Guidea work as a foundation for our current development. Job well done."
Unicorn
"The experience [working with Guidea] was great. We had a very old version of the product to start with and had to redesign the UX from the ground up. They thought out-of-the-box and came up to speed on the domain quickly. Ultimately the end result is what impressed me the most."
Unicorn
“Guidea took time to learn our domain and provide a tailor-made solution. They were creative and found a good balance between making the product both modern and functional. We received national recognition for this product, being named a leader in the intelligent IT operation space in the Forrester Wave report. Within a year, the pipeline for our product has grown and now makes up between 60%–85% of our sales.”
Unicorn
"They were really experienced, and the team understood what business outcome we were trying to get. Also, they had senior and skilled people that helped us figure out our goal, and then they created designs that achieved that outcome. Some other companies have more artistic rendition than an objective perspective. However, Guidea was great at backing up our strategy with their design skills."
Unicorn
"Good designs age well, and, six years later, we’re still using key ideas developed in our engagement. Their depth and breadth of experience stood out to us."
Unicorn
"Theresa Neil's strategic approach and her UX/UI team were able to understand the mobile app approach quickly, audience needs, and current situation to make immediate, impactful recommendations utilizing a heuristic review approach and industry expertise to help ensure a world-class UX/UI."
Unicorn
"Theresa and her team were a great partner when we redesigned a whole analytical financial platform and set the path for good usability for years to follow. We did thorough market research and planning to get us a great new experience. Executives, internal staff, the sales teams and clients loved the new designs. It would be great to work with Theresa and her team again."
Unicorn
"Guidea was extremely knowledgeable on our target personas, Ph.D. Data Scientists. They’d already spoken to people in that niche area. The team was off-the-charts with how professional and organized they were in guiding us through the process."
Unicorn
"Along the way, everyone on the team was extremely enthusiastic, immersing themselves fully in the details of our project and industry. Our platform is niche and complicated. Ryan was especially dedicated to understanding all aspects of the process to tell our story through design as effectively as possible. Their attention to detail and enthusiasm really stood out."
Unicorn
"They didn’t just jump in and tell us how it’ll be done; they asked the right questions and came up with solutions in response. Overall, they had a very nuanced ability to create a collaborative environment, which was powerful and impactful for our product."
Unicorn
"Guidea's world-class design professionals show up humble and deliver personal attention. Their knowledge and expertise is as deep as it is diverse. Our partnership involved multiple programs, time horizons, and scales of scope and impact. Programs focused on immediate delivery rapidly transformed product, design, and technology working groups into cohesive teams. These teams were continuously delivering impacts drawn from user-centered approaches driven by Guidea within weeks of kickoff. Large-scale initiatives were equally successful. A deep research program was collaboratively planned, scoped, and delivered on time — with insights about our customers and their journeys not only influencing our go-forward product strategy and plans, but deep enough in its impact that the research itself and its outcomes were shared with our Board of Directors."
Unicorn
"Excellent experience and highly recommend"
Unicorn
"Theresa and her team have such vast knowledge and understanding for ux and design. They really cater to your needs, stage of growth and needs (which are ever changing as a startup). They've been a pleasure to work with."
Unicorn
"I have engaged with Guidea on two occasions and in both cases Theresa and her team delivered far beyond expectations. They use their broad knowledge and experience to dig deep into the UX request, past what we (the client) thought we wanted, and into what we actually needed."
Unicorn
"Worked with Guidea to build an innovate and market leading enterprise mobile solution for the enterprise asset management and asset performance management industry. The designers were knowledgeable, creative, professional and integrated with our team seamlessly as trusted advisors."
Unicorn
"Our Guidea team led our new design team through a thoughtful and insightful process - grounded in user research, guided by their deep and relevant experience, and reflecting our vision for the app. Guidea really delivered above our expectations."
Unicorn
"I contracted with Guidea for a user experience need we had on my team. Theresa and the staff at Guidea were very professional and delivered high-quality work on time. I'd love to work with them again."
Unicorn
"I have closely worked with Theresa and her team at Guidea twice on very challenging, category defining products. Both the times I was amazed at the excellent work delivered by her and team. The quality, attention to detail, communication and the overall thought process is top notch. I have worked with a number of design agencies across the globe and Theresa / Guidea is at the very top of my recommendation list."
Unicorn
"Theresa is one of the most talented, highly skilled and pragmatic UX / Interactive designers that I've had the opportunity to work with. Her ability to spend time in Discovery allowed for uncovering and understanding the root cause of the problem we were trying to solve before progressing with any type of solutions. This process also stitched together cohesive Journeys that we were then able to validate prior to design and development. If you or your company is struggling to uncover value for your customers, I would highly recommend engaging Theresa and her team."
Unicorn
"Theresa was an excellent resource for us during our experience at Techstars. She provided some great assistance on the UX and design front!"
Unicorn
"Theresa, Jessica and team came in to my company and provided not only much needed design direction, but also the strategy analysis our product team had been severely lacking. It was impressive to watch them pick up and run with our complex business subject matter in the Quantitative Risk space. I will forever be indebted to this firm for injecting our software products with a much needed direction."
Unicorn
"Eli has worked with Guidea now for several months on the user experience of our mobile app, which is one component of our hormone monitoring system. Beyond providing extensive knowledge on best practices for designing the UX medical devices with a paired mobile app, Guidea investigated what objectives we wanted our users to achieve and created lo-fi and hi-fi wireframes to test with users and guide the requirements for our software developers."
Unicorn
"From day one working with Theresa and her team it has been an immersive and enlightening experience. The team are highly experienced, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout, bringing new perspectives to the product strategy, ux research, and overall UI design."
Unicorn
"Working with Guidea has been so amazing. With their expertise, we feel we can create a product of high quality! Additionally, we feel supported and truly started to understand what UX design means, which will be of enormous help for future projects. Their experience has given us insights that we could not easily find elsewhere! The workshops are always productive and appreciated, with feelings of inspiration."
Unicorn
"Guidea has a team of dedicated designers and researchers who have a deep understanding of the unique challenges and requirements of the MedTech industry. I was thoroughly impressed with the knowledge and experience they bring to the table. For a small startup like us, working with Guidea was a real eye opener! They took the time to understand our business and user needs and worked collaboratively with us to develop a customized solution that addressed our specific challenges. Thank you Guidea!"
Unicorn
"Working with Guidea was amazing, from the first moment to the last they really got us. Their advice and knowledge is second to none. We will absolutely be using them in the future."
Unicorn
"Guidea has been fantastic. They have gone above and beyond to help us build a phenomenal product that users love and their medtech expertise has been invaluable. As a femtech company dedicated to clinical robustness, Guidea has been equally committed to basing their UX designs off of patient research to help us build a product of efficacy. I absolutely recommend them to medtech and femtech companies."
Unicorn
"Working with Theresa and the team from Guidea was an amazing experience. They helped us with amazing updates to our UX and allow the true value of our assessment show through. They did an amazing job with the visual design as well for legibility as well! Thank you so much! We cannot wait to launch the new and improved app!"
Unicorn
"I have had the pleasure of working with Guidea through some support we won that was provided by them - it's been a massive and hugely positive experience for us."
Unicorn
"My team worked with Guidea at IBM and we had fantastic results. Our design initiatives ranged from design system updates to information architecture re-designs, to entirely new AI innovation workstreams. As a design manager for the team, I frequently relied on Guidea to augment our design team, and as a result, I was able to deliver impressive results for our business. The outcomes included 38 new patterns for our design system library, a new IA for 40% of the product, and new product roadmap capabilities that clients love. I highly recommend Guidea as a partner."
Unicorn
"When working with a design team, you want them to be conceptual thinkers and bring a new perspective with a north start on the user. Hidden value is when they also get the industry problems & context really quickly. This makes the conceptual ideas real & useful when implementing. The combination of these skills are rare & Guidea's teams have in my experience brought this to the table."
Unicorn
"GUiDEA came highly recommended to me from teammates that had worked with them at two prior companies that I worked at. They were able to distill a complex set of requirements into a cohesive UI/UX experience."
Unicorn
"Compared to other research firms I've worked with in the past, Guidea is more specialized and thorough in their approach. They've really honed their skills around the customer experience aspect of research. They also continue to grow and expand their understanding of our industry."
Unicorn
"Their project management worked really well for us. They kept on top of each aspect of the project flawlessly—in fact, if anything, our team had trouble keeping up with their pace of development—but they always made sure we were all on the same page."
Unicorn
"I was very impressed with Guidea. I've been thinking about this redesign for years, and they were able to help me produce the vision I had in my head. We're a specialized niche. Their designers came in completely unaware of GIS yet were able to catch up quickly to my thinking. They always delivered what they said they would, and did so on time."
Unicorn
"By putting the MVP version of the app on the market, we doubled our organic monthly active users and increased our ratings almost right away...They’re one of the best partners I’ve ever worked with."
Unicorn
"The team delivered the tasks above and beyond the design process. Guidea embedded themselves in our team and became great assets to our business. The team was very passionate about the project and they provided great strategic direction."
Unicorn
Theresa Neil and her team at Guidea are outstanding partners. The Guidea team brought their considerable experience in FemTech and MedTech to help us design our patient monitor UI. Their approach to design is creative, strategic, and centered around our users. They also went out of their way to point us to additional opportunities in their network to help us grow our brand and business. I highly recommend partnering with Guidea for their exceptional service and UX design!
Unicorn
"Theresa and her team have a talent and vision for software design that I've never experienced. I had a vision for what I wanted my B2B software to look like and they amplified it times 1000! They took my ideas and built upon them. The designs they produced were so professional we were able to get paid pre-orders before even launching! Highly recommend."
Unicorn
"We had the opportunity to work with Theresa and the Guidea team when we won a sponsorship through the FEMOVATE 22 Program. The team was amazing to work with. With their help, we created a stylish and user friendly design for our app to evaluate embryo health. This was no small feat- there were lots of nuances and complexities which needed to be addressed. Throughout the process, the team was thoughtful, insightful and really took our users needs into consideration. They accelerated our company's launch and trajectory significantly! Their enthusiasm for "fem tech" and entrepreneurship is palpable and my team and I look forward to collaborating on future projects with Guidea together!"
Unicorn
"Five stars simply is not enough! From the beginning, it was evident that the Guidea team had a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities within healthcare and the FemTech space. Their commitment to a user-focused approach and attention to detail is truly commendable."
Unicorn

The quality, attention to detail, communication and the overall thought process is top notch. I have worked with a number of design agencies across the globe and Theresa / Guidea is at the very top of my recommendation list."

"My team worked with Guidea at IBM and we had fantastic results. Our design initiatives ranged from design system updates to information architecture re-designs, to entirely new AI innovation workstreams. As a design manager for the team, I frequently relied on Guidea to augment our design team, and as a result, I was able to deliver impressive results for our business. The outcomes included 38 new patterns for our design system library, a new IA for 40% of the product, and new product roadmap capabilities that clients love. I highly recommend Guidea as a partner."

"We had the opportunity to work with Theresa and the Guidea team when we won a sponsorship through the FEMOVATE 22 Program. The team was amazing to work with. With their help, we created a stylish and user friendly design for our app to evaluate embryo health. This was no small feat- there were lots of nuances and complexities which needed to be addressed. Throughout the process, the team was thoughtful, insightful and really took our users needs into consideration. They accelerated our company's launch and trajectory significantly! Their enthusiasm for "fem tech" and entrepreneurship is palpable and my team and I look forward to collaborating on future projects with Guidea together!"
