Beaming Health is a San Francisco based healthtech startup founded to improve access to care for parents with special needs children. Osborn Design Works (ODW) partnered to build the Beaming Health brand and create a one-of-a-kind custom healthcare provider database with clinic waitlist data and a standardized care taxonomy.

Osborn Design Works has been AMAZING to work with!

"I get comments every week about our site's design, with comments ranging from 'This is beautiful' to 'Who designed your site and can I work with them asap?'. This is all thanks to Taylor and ODW. He is not just good at making things look nice - he truly approaches UX through a holistic lens. Everything comes back to how can we remove friction and make the experience as easy as possible for the user. Our company (Beaming Health) is small, but because of our design we get people thinking we're a 100+ person company. Designers like Taylor don't come around very often and we feel extremely lucky to get to work with him."

Creative, flexible, & knowledgeable

"Creative, flexible, and knowledgeable service from a high-quality provider. For the last 12 months, ODW has been supporting a full range of services for our advocacy website, including design, HTML, SEO, and even creating custom videos. ODW has been quick to suggest helpful projects based on their own vision and understanding of our needs, but they are also very responsive to our specific instructions and requests.

Considering the level of skill and energy provided by ODW, their prices are very reasonable. I would wholeheartedly recommend them."
