Speaker: Bianca Praetorius, Founder of Cherrish
Could you describe how Daniel helped you?
Bianca Praetorius: My name is Bianca. I'm calling from Germany and I worked with Daniel Unadike in the process of making a dating app. And I really enjoyed working with him and I, I can recommend him for various reasons. So the first thing I really enjoyed is his communication style in a process of having a remote work where you have never met and never been actually in the same room. It's really important that you can trust uh the, the commit the commitment of for communication in that process because whatever I'm gonna say has to be translated into a product and that he does. So whenever I talk to him, he, he listens to the level of precision that he, when he asks back, he asks exactly the right questions to get the product itself on the next level. So even when I had the idea flashed out and I explained it to him and I showed him my little scribbles, he would point out straightly this and here and here and even suggested things that he would do differently. And that made me trust this uh this relationship very well because of course, I want to work with somebody to actually make the product in the end version better. So the, the fact that I can trust the communication to be precise enough to sustain a relationship in that uh in that distance was highly valuable. The second thing I really enjoyed is the beauty of his work. So he did the design for our audio First dating app prototype on Figma. And so I had scribbled ideas how it looked like, but he um his job was also like to implement them and to create them and he did make them look, make, look better and more modern and more um um sexy, I'd say. Um So also that I'd liked and if I didn't like some of the suggestions, he was very fast in also changing them again. So this I also really enjoyed um yeah, and I'm happy with the outcome so that I, I'm going to keep on working with him to getting the product to the next level. Um So the third thing I wanted to mention is the the sense of communication. So if you work with somebody on something that is so dear, like your project, you of course, want to have the quality of the work good. You want to have the communication pre precise and effective and efficient, but you also want to like feel like a human and I know that he has many clients because he's like a quality good, like uh service provider. But I always felt like he would talk to me as a person. So he remembered the things I personally talked about him about. I have small Children and he like, kept on not forgetting that fact. So, um, I also as a human to human relationship, I really enjoyed working with Daniel, which is why I can wholeheartedly recommend him, um, for every project that you have in mind. Um, he did a great job for me and I'm looking forward to work with him again.
How would you describe his design and problem solving skills?
Bianca Praetorius: Um the problem solving skills of Daniel are really on exactly the level I needed because we created something that didn't exist before. It was an audio first uh app. And so there were things that I didn't have zero, I didn't have any answer to. And he did research and like with a very quiet attitude, he did research, came back with suggestions and find ways to make it work. So he always was very problem solution oriented. Um And his design skills, I can just say that I really, I'm proud of how it looks like. So I'm really happy about showing around the end result. Um And so I would say his design skills and problem solving skills are exactly on the point where you need them to be um for any project that you create so far distance.
What makes him stand out among other similar service providers?
Bianca Praetorius: So with service providers where you never met and sat in the same room, it is really crucial. So I did this before with others and I felt it was a waste of money because the I said something and created it. And then I hope, oh no, that must be so clear. And then the product I got back showed to me how not clear it was or how little the person listened. And if you find that out, when you get the product, that's really frustrating because then it's already too late and the money is already spent. And so with Daniel, he would flag very early. This part is not clear. This part is not clear. And so this precision of his communication made me trust that I don't waste my money by him building something that I don't need. And, and that is really not the case for all the people I work with beforehand. So his, his language skills, by the way, his English is just spot on. and better than mine in fact, and that's why that was easy for us to communicate in and he wouldn't with other providers. I sometimes made the experience that they would just be polite and wash over things that they couldn't do. And he was very honest when it came to this, I can't do it. This, I would do differently. This, I can only do next week and that was data points that really helped me. So, that was different than other service providers. and, uh, made the quality of work actually possible. Uh, yeah.
