Experience Design

We use a combination of tools from the worlds of UX design and Lean process mapping to develop user journeys. Our trademark is collaborative design sprints delivering very high-fidelity interactive prototypes that capture the imagination of both end-users and business stakeholders. These prototypes are used to communicate the vision to users and stakeholders as well as provide creative direction during the implementation phase.
