How We Work
Research
We seek to understand the people and the organization for whom we are designing a solution. The problems we are trying to solve are those of people with distinct needs and desires.
Define
We synthesize our research, interviews and observational findings into compelling needs and insights in order to define the problem with clarity.
Ideation
We develop a wide range of possible solutions or ideas related to solving the problem. We value courage and creativity in generating ideas.
Test
We share possible solutions with the people who are most affected by the design problem. Their feedback will help us to refine the design process and develop actionable solutions.
