I decided to try Penji to offload the design burden I've had to handle myself for other businesses I started. This is what I've learned about Penji as a seasoned designer trying to breathe:

To be successful with the basic Penji plan, you need to understand 2 things.

1. Penji, as they explain themselves, are NOT mind readers. You need to know exactly what you want AND how to properly describe it to the designer. You need to be comfortable doing research AND creating reference materials for DOs and DO NOTs. The research I did and the references I provided got us on the right track quickly and I was amazed at how quickly the designer nailed the brief.

2. You need to be okay with every change taking one day and demanding your time and attention. You'll never get a change back the same day. If you are in a rush, Penji is not for you.

One added note: i was pleasantly surprised that you can have as many projects going as you want... you just can't start them all at once. When they finish something on one... they move to the other. The one active project at a time thing is misleading (not sure why) but in a good way. I'm glad that I can do 5 new projects and have them all coming back to me day by day out of sync. This helps a lot with reducing the queue.

I would recommend Penji to any creative that has clear vision and ability to describe what they want and has the time to document what they want and respond to revisions.

Further, I would assure any creative that was skeptical like I was that you ARE NOT stuck with stock illustrations and templates as I assumed but the designers can freely modify anything you ask for. They are not production designers. They are in fact artists and skilled design staff. This is a huge win.

Penji is friendly, informative, and detailed in their communication. You ask, they deliver. I needed a vector deliverable sent as individual SVGs and not AI. They did it the next day.

I am hoping to use Penji more and more and I am able to direct the creative but not execute it and increase the workload my company can handle once we use Penji for clients and not our own internal needs.

Penji's price and value are very competitive. I appreciate Penji's proprietary software for managing things... even if there are some typos here and there 😉

We’ve had the pleasure of partnering with Penji for the past few months, and we can confidently say that their design services have been nothing short of outstanding. From social media banners to merchandise for our new store and internal document templates, Penji has consistently exceeded our expectations.

One of the most commendable aspects of working with Penji is their remarkable turnaround time. We’ve been able to create 10x the amount of assets and products in the past few months (compared to doing it on our own). We had originally planned to use Penji services to create fundraising assets for our end of year campaign; however, we were able to finish that project so efficiently, we’ve now been able to work with their designers to create merchandise for our new online store! This project wasn’t planned for us until next year, and so Penji’s efficiency has been a game-changer for us.

I highly recommend Penji to anyone in need of top-notch design services. Whether you're a startup, a growing business, or an established company, Penji has the expertise and efficiency to elevate your visual presence. Thank you, Penji, for consistently delivering quality designs and making our experience smooth and enjoyable!

I have loved working with Penji. They continue to meet my design needs with a prompt turnaround time. They have helped me many times in a pinch and are extremely skilled designers that offer a wide array of services. I am an extremely happy customer and will continue to use Penji for my design needs.

I have been a client of Penji for 7 months, and they have completely met my design expectations, no matter the type of project, I have asked them to make logos, web designs, illustrations, packaging and much more, and everything has an excellent quality.

Another thing I would like to highlight is the good attention they offer, from the designers who are super friendly and responsive, as well as the support team that is super kind and attentive (especially Pablo), and they are always there to support customers with their problems. I can recommend Penji with my eyes closed.

Penji has been an incredible partner for us at College Together. Their support and design teams are fast and responsive. We had, initially, a not-so-great experience with the first designer they sent us. Their leadership was able to work that out really quick and it's been smooth sailing since then. I think the true mark of a great firm is not that everything comes out perfectly the first time, but rather that they are willing to improve and refine as needs and situations change. In that respect, Penji has been a top tier partner. I highly recommend them.

I can't overstate how crucial it is to maintain a consistent and high-quality brand image. From the moment we started using Penji, it was clear that we were dealing with professional designers.
One of the standout features for me has been Penji's brand standards profile. This tool allows us to ensure that all designs adhere to our brand guidelines, regardless of which designer is working on a project. It's like having an in-house design team that knows your brand inside and out, but at a fraction of the cost.
We also appreciate the consistency provided by assigning a similar group of designers to our account. This attention to detail ensures a level of brand cohesiveness that is greatly appreciated.
Their pricing is very reasonable, especially when you consider the speed at which they turn around projects (usually within 24 hours). We often have tight deadlines, and Penji has never let us down.
Another plus is the convenience of receiving working documents for each project. This enables us to make minor revisions ourselves, without having to go back and forth with a designer, saving us even more time and resources.
To sum it up, our experience with Penji has been nothing short of excellent. Their platform has become an invaluable asset for my team, and we highly recommend their services. 🥳

To have the best experience with Penji, understand what they are and what they aren't.

You won't get the design you're looking for after the first pass. Probably not the second. Maybe not the third. Sometimes not the fourth, fifth, and sixth.

It's awesome when they get it right and it's on to the next project. It's frustrating when you submit a round of revisions and they forget a couple of small details and you have to wait an entire day until they fix what they missed. If you have the patience and flexibility to deal with this, you will like this service. If you operate on razor-thin deadlines and need world-class creative, you will not be impressed.

Overall, we're moderately happy with Penji. For now, the quantity of output is superseding the quality of execution.
