Research

ux_design_research

We start by observing users within the context of their real world environment, and digging deep with rigorous methods of inquiry to establish a well-informed, meaningful view of the experience landscape. We conduct generative user research to uncover innovation opportunities for the product, and engage powerful analysis techniques to yield actionable insights. Our in-depth product research deepens insights and surfaces additional opportunities. Through ongoing design evaluation and usability, we test our designs and assumptions to build confidence in design directions. This ensures ease of use of the design, and reduces the need for expensive re-work before an investment is made in development. Ultimately, our methods enable us to innovate empathetically and remain focused on the user.

Strategy

Equipped with our research findings, we are able to plan with our clients the most effective path to get to market. Together, we look beyond the boundaries of thinking in terms of features and functions and launch into considering the real holistic needs of the people who will use the product. We employ a combination of strategy tools that can vary according to specific project and client needs. While many of our clients prefer robust documentation of the strategy findings, our techniques also allow us to nimbly integrate the findings into a dynamic, agile workflow. The result is that we establish meaningful user experience strategies for our clients, with detailed schedules, success metrics, deliverables, and long-term governance.

Design

We create digital experiences for any platform that reflect your brand, vision, and end-user needs. Taking the Research and Strategy findings, we start the iterative design process. Through a variety of collaborative techniques we spark not only the creation of individual screens but also generate a consistent and reusable design language as we progress through interaction and visual design. Throughout all of this, we keep the user at the center of every decision. This allows the synthesis of ideas to encapsulate the entire user experience, beyond a single isolated product interaction, and keep it as a set of actions, perceptions, feelings, and emotions that begins the moment a user wakes up to the moment they go to sleep at night.
