About Blitzr

Blitzr is a platform for online events that lets people speak one-on-one as opposed to one-to-many (like Zoom, Skype, Google and others do). Jeff Durso and Ted Lee, the co-owners, believe that these conversations can elevate any community.

They needed to design the homepage, event page, and catalog (showing all the current events to choose from) as well  as making the “inside the platform” part look similar to the home page.

Results

“We were all just completely blown away with with what she came up with, it far exceeded any expectations we could have possibly had”.

It gives Blitzr team “the ability to go from beta with all this momentum and excitement and get ready for that next stage”
Blitzr grew. Between 2020 and 2023 it hosted over 90,000 conversations for thousands of hosts.

Here's what we created together

“She really asked us a lot of questions. She kept drilling and pushing through to get to the essence of Blitzr.”

Jeff Durso

“If your goal is to really have a design, that’s an extension of the character, I would definitely recommend talking with Katia and engaging her in the process.”

Jeff said

It was time to go beyond beta, and find a design, that would give us the ability to grow.

How do you stand out in a sea of everyone looking the same? Looking around the web, we found that everything felt so sterile, everything looked the same. Everyone was playing it safe with their design. We definitely didn’t want this.

She asks the question behind the question to make sure she’s not just delivering something very quickly, but that she’s really getting to the heart of what it is.

We’re super thrilled and excited about the design that she’s done for us and we’re excited to work with her again.
