Designing Usable Products for Digital and Physical Interactions
Our UX + UI team creates holistic, user-centered design solutions that integrate physical and digital interactions. Our lean approach fuses human factors researchers, strategists, interface designers, software engineers, and UX prototypers to transform your requirements into usable, beautiful, and delightful solutions. By pulling from our diverse experience in the medical, automotive, industrial, and consumer markets, our team can quickly ramp-up to augment your team and help you meet usability, conversion, and/or business goals. No matter your priority, we’ll make it ours.
Human-Centered Research Services
Whether your goal is understanding the usability of your existing interface, or generating an entirely new experience, our research team delivers the actionable insights to empower our designers to make user-driven and informed decisions. Our team of Human Factors researchers ensure our design starts with a foundation that is usable, useful and desirable.
User Experience (UX) Design Services
To the user, a product is not just comprised of its features, aesthetics, and materials; a product is the sum of their experiences, both physical and digital. Our UX design team focuses on building usable and cohesive experiences for your stakeholders by empathizing to understand their individual experiences and needs. By prototyping early and often, our team quickly aligns with your user and business needs to develop rewarding and effortless experiences.
User Interface (UI) Design Services
Our user interface designers push creative and technical boundaries to enhance a digital interface’s overall functionality, usability, and appeal. With a wide range of experience, from designing membrane switch layouts for embedded systems, to complete IOT connected web applications, our design team aims for the most usable and beautiful brand appropriate solutions.
Software Development Services
Our UX and software engineers work as part of the user experience team to help guide and ensure the intent is carried through to production. They create UX prototypes to answer questions of usability, technical constraints, and feature usefulness. Once those questions are answered and the design is in place, our embedded software development team will work with you to create a plan to get your product to release, and how to best support you after the initial release.
UI Sound Design
Our in-house sound design team has a passion for developing meaningful and beautiful UI sounds. From our experience designing innovative sounds for robotic system interfaces, medical devices, appliances and more, we understand the need to listen before we create. By listening, we can empathize with users and their sonic environments. By listening, we can benchmark and test sounds against usability heuristics. And by listening, we can find the opportunities to develop impactful sound that elevates experience.
