What we said about each
What we said about Fireart Studio
"Fireart Studio's portfolio lists 20+ projects with consistently strong visual execution—their Sprightful case study stands out with a documented process from workshop through research to user testing, though most other cases focus on final deliverables rather than methodology. The studio claims high-profile clients like Google and Rolls-Royce, but visible work is primarily startup and SMB apps; the Google project was illustration work for Google Play, not product UX—worth clarifying if…"

Strengths and watch-outs
Both upsides and risks, straight from our editorial assessments.
Fireart Studio
✓ Strengths
- •Red Dot Award winner with 90+ Behance features and 132k Dribbble followers—visual design quality is well above average for the price range
- •Full design-to-development pipeline (product design, web, mobile, QA) at EUR 45-90/hr, reducing handoff friction for build-phase projects
- •Sprightful case study documents a year-long engagement from workshop and research through IA, wireframes, and user testing to a shipped product with dashboard, admin, and mobile app
⚠ Watch-outs
- •Most case studies showcase final visuals without documenting research, iteration, or measurable outcomes—ask for process decks or detailed walkthroughs before assuming UX research depth
- •Claims like '700+ projects' and enterprise clients (Google, Rolls-Royce) aren't backed by visible case studies at that level—request references or NDA-protected samples if enterprise work is critical
- •No specific vertical expertise visible—portfolio spans NFT gaming, solar energy, real estate, fitness, and home services, so clarify domain knowledge if your project requires industry-specific understanding
- •About page says '50+ experts' while the team page shows 9 named leaders—confirm current team size and who would staff your project
Halo Lab
✓ Strengths
- •350+ clients served with measurable outcomes documented—WeSpire 35% traffic increase, Mighty Buildings $100M+ raised, HomeQ acquired by $7B company after 67% yearly growth
- •Full-stack capability (design through React/Next.js development) reduces handoff risk and vendor coordination
- •Active across healthcare, FinTech, and e-commerce with recent projects in each vertical
⚠ Watch-outs
- •At €23–45/hr with a 50–249 person team, this is likely a distributed model—confirm which team members will be assigned to your project and their location
- •Case studies emphasize visual outcomes and client metrics over UX research process—if you need documented user research or usability testing, ask for evidence of their methodology
- •Portfolio breadth is wide (350+ clients) but individual case study depth is moderate—request detailed process documentation for a project similar to yours before committing
