WANDR

WANDR as a studio

WANDR is hard to categorise, which is itself a finding. UX/UI design is 40 percent, branding 20 percent, mobile and web development 10 percent each. The industry mix is unusual: government at 30 percent, gaming, non-profit and e-commerce at 20 percent each. Enterprise is 60 percent of clients. Founded 2016 with 10 to 49 people in Los Angeles, it charges $150 - $199 / hr from a $25,000+ minimum and holds a 5.0 across 34 Clutch reviews. Reviews range from a responsive design system for an MVP to Meta and Google Ads campaigns.
