Our verdict
Vaan work with the brands other agencies put in their pitch decks — Rhode, HexClad, Cult Gaia, Jacob & Co, KHY. They are a Shopify Platinum agency with a genuinely design-first method they call Brand Conversion Design, treating identity, UX and performance as one discipline rather than three handoffs. The portfolio is brand-defining rebuilds and complex migrations for beauty, luxury and lifestyle names, and the quality bar is visible in every case study. Now part of Verndale, which extends the platform and engineering depth behind that design practice.
