What we said about each
What we said about Edenspiekermann
"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.…"

"Overnice publishes multiple case studies spanning developer tools, Web3, healthcare, and AI security—each showing deliberate design rationale, from Nimiq's 3-tier information architecture to GoPuls's migraine-informed typography choices.

Published case studies emphasize conceptual thinking and brand-to-product coherence…"

Strengths and watch-outs
Both upsides and risks, straight from our editorial assessments.
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
Overnice
✓ Strengths
- •Named founder testimonials from Prisma (Johannes Schickling) and Stellate (Max Stoiber)—verifiable VC-backed tech clients
- •Many published case studies across developer tools, Web3, healthcare, and fintech—consistent depth in translating technical complexity into clear UX (GraphiQL IDE redesign, Nimiq crypto wallet, Flightcontrol DevOps dashboard)
- •Brand-to-product integration as a core method—every case study shows identity and interface designed as one system, reducing the gap between marketing and product experience
- •Frontend development capability in-house (React, Next.js, Svelte, Astro)—design decisions carry through to implementation without handoff loss
- •8-person team with named roles (2 founders, 3 designers, 1 developer, 1 PM, 1 ops)—transparent about studio composition
⚠ Watch-outs
- •No measurable outcomes in any published case study—request internal metrics or client references to validate business impact beyond design quality
- •Published work emphasizes visual craft and conceptual rationale over documented UX research—if your project requires usability testing or user research artifacts, clarify their methodology before engaging
