Great team to work with — professional, responsive and reliable

Sean Byrne / Co-Founder | Oct 19, 2026

Our experience with Shadow Surface was really positive from start to finish. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

We engaged Shadow Surface to build a design system so our product looked consistent across screens. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. The engagement ran for about 9 months.

Shadow Surface did an excellent job for us. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in.

We were very happy with how this project went. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. Communication was consistent.
