Crema

WOW! Working with Crema was a dream come true -- literally! Rarely have I had the opportunity to engage with a partner who so actively listens to its client's vision, considers ways address the request, then magically brings it to life with such finesse... that's exactly what Crema did. With a tight turnaround time and a very public launch, Crema created a beautiful user interface, backend database, and promotional display that activated my product and made it fun and easy to use while perfectly representing my brand. I am so grateful to Crema and will continue to seek opportunities to work with this innovative, creative, and positive group of professionals.

Every experience I've had with Crema has always been a positive one. And every employee I've met there have been incredibly nice, thoughtful, and great to talk to. They have a very cool office space in the Crossroads with great views of KC that just makes you want to hang out there! Crema seems to highly prioritize their company culture by putting on events and having a heathy work/life balance. In short, they seem to really care about people and that carries into their work, judging by how I was able to see their process for developing solutions for their clients at a workshop they held. Using the design sprint methodology, and healthy doses of design thinking, humanistic perspectives, diversity, and pragmatism, they clearly have spent a great deal of effort honing a highly efficient development strategy that makes finding creative solutions a reliable science. It gave me a lot of ideas to bring back to my own projects and meetings! I definitely recommend their design sprint workshop and can only imagine they would be a great company to have tackling your company's challenges.

When starting a new venture my partners and I needed to find a team that could help us round out our vision, give us insightful, objective and constructive feedback and then finally put that vetted strategy into an action plan, then reality. The team at Crema was the perfect fit for our company. Through organized and proactive conversations with the Crema team, they really got to understand what our vision was, the opportunity we had and how we wanted to attack it. Then through structured strategy sessions with their team, our vision become more solidified and more specific. the process was fun, fascinating and full of learning. it was amazing how knowledgeable the Crema team was at our industry and who our target market was or maybe who it really should be. they asked positive probing questions that caused my partners and I to really think about what we wanted and who we wanted that to interact with. In the end we learned more about how we wanted to build a business, the need we wanted to fill and a managed action plan of how we are going to accomplish it, alongside the Crema team. as an entrepreneur and business owner, it is almost impossible to make everything happen and on the timeline that you need. The team at Crema gave us very knowledgeable constructs on how to think about our business. their ability to pull from their vast amount of experience and to make those experiences relevant to our venture was amazing. it helped distill years into weeks. also getting perspective from sharp, energized and talented individuals is worth its weight in gold. just being in the Crema culture makes you want to build things and learn. These are not consultants, they are truly great business partners and their knowledge pool combined with their energy will propel your business.

The Crema office is very cool. Lots of modern touches with a great view of the Kauffman Center for Performing Arts. I recently attended a Design Sprint workshop and had a great time! It was a unique experience and a great tool for solving even the most complex problems. I'm hoping to utilize it in my current role. Justin was a great facilitator and I would recommend using Crema for any Design Sprint needs or even attending the workshop yourself. It was also a great networking opportunity. Highly recommended!

The entire CREMA team is top notch! My business partners and I got so much out of working with them. Especially the one day session where we went through a lot of pros/cons of our business idea. It helped us communicate some ideas and thoughts in a formal setting which allowed us to formulate a much better business plan moving forward. I would highly recommend anyone looking to do a deeper dive into a business idea, plan, etc go do this session. Also any existing businesses looking to grow or improve their marketing presence would be a great asset to them. We were much more confident in our thoughts and ideas moving forward after that session. Thanks again for everything guys, we truly appreciate it

Entrepreneurship is hard! I am no expert in technology or software development. In fact, I know just enough to confuse myself and challenge those who are trying to help me. Every interaction I had with Nate Olson and his team was professional and affirming. They very obviously care about their customers and their place in the tech community. While my project was not a good fit, yet, they were very encouraging and helped me consider next steps. It was refreshing to interact with a person and a group who understand the difficulties with start-ups and have the integrity to be honest and helpful. Crema is a Kansas City gem!

I have gone to two Design Sprint workshops there and loved the event and the space. I appreciate their teams willingness to share information and ideas with the business community, we don't always see that these days. If you are looking for digital product agency that creates web and mobile apps, you definately need to see what Crema can offer your company.

Our initial meeting was more about how awesome they were and how many awards they'd won than what I was trying to hire them to do. They didn't come prepared and didn't seem interested in getting to know my project. They seem like perfectly nice guys and I'm sure they have plenty of work, they don't need me or my project...
