After getting a Kickstarter campaign funded, every creator faces the same realization: “Yayy 🎉🎉…wait…🤔…well, crud. Now I have to make the thing I promised to make and manage thousands and thousands of pledges.”

BackerKit builds software to help crowdfunding creators manage pledges from backers and take care of tons of behind-the-scenes operational biz. But their brand needed some new creative spirit and their website was not offering clear, rewarding journeys for either creators or backers.

👋 While the new site was in development, we collaborated with the BackerKit product design team to extend the new site experience into the product on-boarding flows for both backers and creators.

🧰 In true Saint Friend style, we left our friends with tools to keep the good new brand vibes going: templates for future pages and a library of design styles that have since found their way into emails, blog posts, and product experiences.
