"Innovation is not about thinking in theory, but building, prototyping, iterating, and learning.”
Nancy Ku, Associate Director of Design Technology
Build the right thing, the right way.
Computational Design
Use code to design more intelligently
Computational design is at the heart of our practice. We engage design technologists for whom code is an integral part of their design toolkit. We approach design from a cognitive intelligence perspective – seeing solutions as systems that are innovative, efficient and scalable.
Technical Research
Get insight into emerging technology
Emerging technologies require critical insight and design intelligence. We partner with companies to evaluate new tech opportunities through a process of technical discovery and reporting. We map out the possibilities and prototype ideal artifacts and tools for emerging media.
Data-Driven Design
Design better with data
Today’s product experiences are guided by intelligent systems and fueled by data. From quantitative research, live data prototypes, data managed tools and data-visualization, we ensure data-driven solutions are insightful, scalable and ethical.
Custom Prototypes
Prototype your future
Our comprehensive prototyping approach adds value throughout the design process. It is an active process of discovery to explore new interactions and make visions real. From low-fi experiments to high-fidelity UI and logic prototypes, we rapidly build ideas for clarity, persuasion, or technical confidence.
Intelligent Tools
Automate the process
Artificial intelligence is transforming businesses with more automated processes and tools. Our team brings expertise in creating intelligent tools that streamline design and development. From simple plug-ins to more robust systems, we strive to leverage technology as a partner in empowering the creative process.
Des-Dev Facilitation
Build to learn
We connect design with technology via facilitation and development coordination. We prepare designs for production, outline technical requirements and bring together technical specialists to develop and build front-end code bases for working MVP pilots and applications.
Realization Support & Training
Implement with support
Our job is to set internal technology team up for success. We provide consulting and support to engineers as they implement and test pilot experiences. We train and guide teams for on-going product design maintenance and evolution.
We can engage in a variety of ways:
Spark Sessions
Short, targeted workshops or sprints that provide inspiration and guidance to jumpstart your design research process.
Product Delivery
Fixed, project engagements focused on researching and envisioning opportunities for a new product or service.
Open Support
Open, flexible team support that provides ongoing research support services to augment and scale internal team capacity.
