Company Profile

In Autumn 2019 we were approached with a request to develop a unique subscription platform for clothing rental. The UK-based startup “The Devout” intended to launch a monthly subscription service offering designer brands and vintage pieces. The task was concrete enough: we had to provide an end-to-end solution and come up with an MVP in six months. Once the team was formed, we immediately got to work.

  • Design a visual appearance of the platform
  • Build both the backend and frontend
  • Conduct testing activities
