Our Take
Lead UX/UI agency for DAAD since 2021—My GUIDE platform serves 880,000+ users across 20,000+ study programs, with documented user research, iterative prototyping, design system development, and regular usability testing with diverse international student groups. The DAAD Automated Replies feature extended the ecosystem with AI-powered responses, reducing university email overload.
Jobsmart Europe MVP designed in under 6 weeks with in-depth user research, journey mapping for both job seekers and employers, and multilingual interface design—5,000+ active users. Client testimonials from Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin and Gesellschaft für Informatik.
What sets brightside apart is staying power over one-off delivery—a lean Berlin team that embeds like an in-house crew, evidenced by a multi-year DAAD lead-agency role since 2021 and eight named client testimonials from Charité to Kämpfe Elektronik.
