— Praveen V
★★★★★

I have known the GMI family for years and recently began a series of projects with the team. One of the main projects we did with them was the complete overhaul of our company website. I am beyond thrilled with the final product and, just as important, the experience with the team throughout.

Sean worked with me at the BD stage, and was able to grasp the ideas and vision very well, conveying it across clearly to the team. Joshua handled client servicing for my account, effectively coordinating input and feedback from me to the rest of the team to ensure smooth actioning and execution. Allan headed the design team, and they were able to execute my vision beautifully. I must note that, in terms of design, I tend to be very selective in what I like, and GMI was able to meet the high standards expected.

Again, I am very happy with the final result of the work put into this by everyone here. The product and experience are a testimony to the leadership, and I look forward to bringing more projects across their way.
