Tactical Design Assistance Throughout the Product Lifecycle
You have a clear idea of the experience you want to design, but need additional hands on deck to help make it a reality. We have decades of experience in Agile and Lean UX environments, within Agencies and embedded directly with our clients, to ensure your product development lifecycle gets the critical support it needs, at precisely the right time.
Exceptional digital product development requires a wide range of skills, and team members who work well together, to bring out the best in everyone. Our UX Architects and Designers have experience working on a wide range of projects across clients and industries, and are atuned to the your needs.
Whether it's an Agile team working in short sprints, or a Lean UX team working through a product backlog, we can join with you and help you meet your most critical deadlines without sacrificing quality. We understand the business of digital product creation, and will tune our offering to work within whatever constraints you have.
For example, last year we helped The Recording Academy re-architect, re-design, and re-launch GRAMMY.com, including the design and development of a new navigational architecture, migration of 65 years of awards show content, and creation of a mobile-first website... all on an extremely tight deadline with no room for error.
Our design studio works big and small. From re-designing an SSO flow to rethinking the end-to-end employee experience to creating a patient-centered treatment planning service design, we bring a human-centered approach to strategic design planning and tactical delivery.
Information Architecture
Make Your Content More Findable
Dealing with a deep and complex body of content that users find confusing, inpenetrable, and difficult? Or do you have a deep well of material that people might find useful... if they could find it?
We can help.
Our experts in content classification, organization, and strategy work to make complex sites highly navigable and intuitive. We can begin with a Content Audit to determine what material already exists, when it was last updated, and whether people are finding it. We can perform Tree Testing with users to help build a navigational structure and faceted classification scheme that aligns to your audience's expectations. We can design a responsive, personalizable, highly-usable navigation to help surfance
Interaction Design
Make Your Experience More Intuitive
The creation of a common set of design patterns and an intuitive, flexible approach to interaction in your product design is critical to its success. Teams both large and small benefit from a common understanding of the intent behind each and every design choice. Our Interaction Designers have worked on diverse projects including mobile apps and mobile-first web experiences, digital immersive environments, AR/VR experiences and more.
We don't just deliver wireframes (though we do that, too.) We deliver a reliable reference point for your team to use when implementing your product experience. From Single Sign-On design patterns that work across all form factors and devices, to an entire Interaction Design Pattern Library you can use across a family of applications, we have the skills and experience to help your team collaborate more efficiently while creating more intuitive, satisfying and useful digital experiences for your audience.
Visual Design
Make Your Experience Delightful
Our visual digital artists have deep experience in creating unique and differentiated experience for our clients, while working within whatever constraints are presented by a given project. We won't just apply color to wireframes - we'll work with you to develop a distinct visual style and brand architecture that exhibits the best qualities of your organization while attracting your target audience and stimulating their senses.
We've worked with clients with well-defined brand guidelines as well as those looking to develop new visual languages to express their experience's identity in an impactful, representative, memorable way. We can work with you to define or develop your brand standards, create new and deeply-informative visualizations of complex data, and help novel interaction designs find new and exciting modes of expression.
