What we said about each
What we said about Designit
"Designit's JFK Terminal 4 case study demonstrates deep process—competitive benchmarking, user interviews, stakeholder workshops, 500+ ideas synthesized into 18 experience concepts with implementation roadmaps. As part of Wipro with 12 global studios, they bring enterprise scale and cross-industry depth across aviation, healthcare, retail, and technology. Best for large organizations needing research-led service design and experience strategy, where the €150-199/hr rate is justified by process…"

"Case studies for HUK-COBURG, Stiftung Warentest, and the City of Leipzig show end-to-end process—field research, user interviews, iterative prototyping, and shipped products—with specifics like a 5-month go-to-market for HUK AutoService and a bespoke typeface scaled to 9,000 municipal employees. The work gravitates toward brand-led digital transformation for large institutions rather than standalone product UX, so confirm the team setup if your need is purely UX/UI without a branding component.…"

Strengths and watch-outs
Both upsides and risks, straight from our editorial assessments.
Designit
✓ Strengths
- •JFK Terminal 4 case shows full process: research, ideation (500+ ideas), concept development (18 concepts), and roadmapping
- •12 global studios with cross-industry depth—aviation, healthcare, retail, technology
- •Published 'Do No Harm' responsible design framework applied at every project stage
⚠ Watch-outs
- •Part of Wipro—confirm that the Copenhagen studio handles your project directly, not a satellite office
- •Enterprise-oriented process may not suit smaller or faster-moving projects under €50k
- •Global scale means your project competes for attention with JFK-sized engagements—clarify team allocation upfront
Edenspiekermann
✓ Strengths
- •Documented research methodology across case studies—field visits, qualitative user interviews, and consumer testing visible in multiple projects
- •In-house development capability (web, native, AR) reduces handoff risk between design and implementation
- •Major institutional clients including HUK-COBURG (12M customers), Stiftung Warentest (96% brand recognition in Germany), and Lucid Motors
⚠ Watch-outs
- •Portfolio skews toward branding and corporate identity—if your project is a pure digital product without a brand component, ask to see standalone UX/UI work
- •At €138+/hr with a Berlin + US office footprint, request a clear breakdown of which office and seniority levels will staff your project
- •Case studies highlight German institutional clients—if you operate in a different market, ask about relevant regional experience
- •Process documentation is strong but quantified UX outcomes (task completion rates, conversion lifts, satisfaction scores) are largely absent—ask for metrics from recent engagements
