Design Research

Research first, unless you like building the wrong thing beautifully.

We know all the research methods in the playbook, but the real art?

Picking the right one for your challenge, so you get sharp, clear insights at speed.

Interviews

Through brief, targeted conversations with the right users, we uncover their needs and struggles, to get you actionable findings quickly.

Usability Testing

Focused tests where people perform curated tasks with your solution, revealing where they breeze through, hesitate, and get stuck.

Heuristic Evaluation

We evaluate your solution against established usability principles to identify inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement.

Direct Observations

We step into your users' world, see how they use your solution in their natural setting, catching the hidden wins, frustrations & habits.

Surveys

We design surveys asking the right questions to capture user opinions and perceptions, alongside key quantitative metrics.

Card Sorting

Uncover how users naturally think, group, and navigate, so your content structure makes sense to them and mirrors their mental models.

Tree Testing

It shows exactly where your navigation works and where it breaks, so you can fix confusion before it costs you.
