Company Overview

Crema is a design and technology consultancy based in Kansas City, Missouri, dedicated to helping growing service organizations discover, shape, and execute on their most significant opportunities. Positioned at the intersection of business consultancy, creative studio, and software agency, Crema offers a holistic approach to digital transformation, ensuring that technology, process, and people align to set the trajectory for success.
Founded by George Brooks and Daniel Linhart, Crema has evolved from a small team passionate about user experience and operations into a dynamic organization with nearly 40 full-time employees. Their growth has been fueled by a commitment to saying “yes” to new opportunities and assembling cross-functional teams of experts in product management, strategy, design, development, and more.
Crema’s work revolves around four interconnected areas: strategy, design, engineering, and growth. Their strategy services include business model development, concept validation, product vision, service design, and go-to-market planning. This foundation ensures each project aligns with the organization’s broader goals.
On the design side, they offer in-depth user research, stakeholder interviews, usability testing, experience audits, and crafting of wireframes and visual prototypes. Their design work emphasizes accessibility, systems thinking, and user-first experiences that scale with client needs.
Their engineering capabilities span full-stack development, mobile app creation, cloud architecture, API design, and even AI/machine learning integrations. The development team partners closely with designers and strategists to ensure products are not only functional but also scalable and maintainable.
To support product longevity and business evolution, Crema provides post-launch services focused on growth. These include product maintenance, agile coaching, CI/CD practices, change management support, and promotional asset creation to fuel ongoing success.
One of Crema’s standout practices is forming cross-disciplinary teams tailored to each client. These small, agile groups embed directly with partner companies, functioning as extensions of internal teams. This model encourages close collaboration and rapid feedback loops that keep projects aligned and responsive.
Crema’s work spans sectors such as finance, construction, cybersecurity, real estate, and management consulting. Across these verticals, their goal remains the same: to help clients transform how they work, make smarter decisions, and create impactful digital experiences.

WOW! Working with Crema was a dream come true -- literally! Rarely have I had the opportunity to engage with a partner who so actively listens to its client's vision, considers ways address the request, then magically brings it to life with such finesse... that's exactly what Crema did. With a tight turnaround time and a very public launch, Crema created a beautiful user interface, backend database, and promotional display that activated my product and made it fun and easy to use while perfectly representing my brand. I am so grateful to Crema and will continue to seek opportunities to work with this innovative, creative, and positive group of professionals.

Every experience I've had with Crema has always been a positive one. And every employee I've met there have been incredibly nice, thoughtful, and great to talk to. They have a very cool office space in the Crossroads with great views of KC that just makes you want to hang out there! Crema seems to highly prioritize their company culture by putting on events and having a heathy work/life balance. In short, they seem to really care about people and that carries into their work, judging by how I was able to see their process for developing solutions for their clients at a workshop they held. Using the design sprint methodology, and healthy doses of design thinking, humanistic perspectives, diversity, and pragmatism, they clearly have spent a great deal of effort honing a highly efficient development strategy that makes finding creative solutions a reliable science. It gave me a lot of ideas to bring back to my own projects and meetings! I definitely recommend their design sprint workshop and can only imagine they would be a great company to have tackling your company's challenges.

When starting a new venture my partners and I needed to find a team that could help us round out our vision, give us insightful, objective and constructive feedback and then finally put that vetted strategy into an action plan, then reality.The team at Crema was the perfect fit for our company.Through organized and proactive conversations with the Crema team, they really got to understand what our vision was, the opportunity we had and how we wanted to attack it. Then through structured strategy sessions with their team, our vision become more solidified and more specific. the process was fun, fascinating and full of learning. it was amazing how knowledgeable the Crema team was at our industry and who our target market was or maybe who it really should be. they asked positive probing questions that caused my partners and I to really think about what we wanted and who we wanted that to interact with.In the end we learned more about how we wanted to build a business, the need we wanted to fill and a managed action plan of how we are going to accomplish it, alongside the Crema team.as an entrepreneur and business owner, it is almost impossible to make everything happen and on the timeline that you need. The team at Crema gave us very knowledgeable constructs on how to think about our business. their ability to pull from their vast amount of experience and to make those experiences relevant to our venture was amazing. it helped distill years into weeks. also getting perspective from sharp, energized and talented individuals is worth its weight in gold.just being in the Crema culture makes you want to build things and learn. These are not consultants, they are truly great business partners and their knowledge pool combined with their energy will propel your business.
