FEATURED WORK

Some of our favorites.

BOLD

Through open-ended interviews, we identified user, technical, and business requirements. Insights gathered are being used to craft low fidelity wireframes in Figma of the top concepts for client review. Through an iterative process, these concepts will be brought to higher levels of visual and content fidelity.

McCann Worldgroup

We conducted ethnographic ‘go-alongs’ with families across the USA and generated case studies to answer the central research question of “What is the nature and shape of the American Dream today?” Interviews took place in people’s homes, vehicles, and communities.

Gusto

We conducted interviews with Gusto users from both employer and employee perspectives to validate a new pay concept. After analyzing the data, sessions were conducted by our team with stakeholders to drive decisions around the new feature.

Usability Testing for Medical Devices

We performed usability validation testing required for regulatory approval. Studies adhere to a strict protocol that tests whether products are safe and effective. Detailed reporting includes root cause analysis for any issues including errors, close calls and difficulties.

We’ve helped countless other clients deliver experiences that are human, beautiful, and useful.
