“Overpass as knocked it out of the park. Our CMO described it like someone truly knew our brand and had found the right ways to improve it.”
Mac Reddin
Overpass has been incredibly efficient in their delivery of a top notch branding and UX/UI design of our MVP. I have been impressed how you got it right straight away. We've had amazing feedback on our brand.
Veronique Trang
Our initial conversations about brand identity were invaluable. You truly listened and helped us define our business values. Getting an external view on our brand, reflected in our messaging and website, has been massively beneficial. While we could've tried doing it ourselves, the outcome with Overpass is unparalleled, perfectly timing our company's next growth phase.
Georgina Cooke
Having worked with Overpass for a number of years, and other design agencies before this, the introduction of AirTable has been a game changer. Before, design briefs consisted on lengthy excel documents, or lengthy emails with attachments. All of this led to confusion, especially once feedback or changes needed to be implemented. A version 8 of a document would be the norm, when someone else was still using V5. It was also always so tricky so find a previous design, from an old project, to base a new design upon. Without pestering the design agency and lots of back and forth. Have a record of all chefs with copy and associated images in one place. Saves heaps of time when briefing a new design not having to dig out info and re-add to brief. In summary it has saved a lot of time, frustration and stress, making our design process infinitely more efficient.

We have worked with Matt & Max at Overpass for over four years now on various different projects and they are always a pleasure to work with. One particular project we took from initial development of creative to reality was a project for Estrella Galicia - Estrella Galicia Gastronomy Month, this project really demonstrates how adaptable they are. They are always on-hand for any last minute changes needed they are always very responsive and get the job done extremely quickly when we flag it is urgent.
