We like to form relationships with users and often consult them right through the design process. Referencing the right users at the right time helps break down deceptive preconceptions and ensures that the creative work is always focussed on a clear and informed vision.
Research can offer rich description of users’ behaviours, but even greater value is gained by synthesising those observations into actionable insights. By framing our research findings within social, economic and cultural trends, we translate inexplicit behaviours into revealing needs and desires. By reviewing those needs through the lens of the brand and the competitor landscape, we convert them into business opportunities and strategy.
From our research findings, we construct narratives to inspire and direct action. We discover insights and we distil complex user behaviours into practical commercial opportunities. Our research ensures that roadmap strategies are informed by real needs and that the resulting products are appropriate for and loved by the intended audience.
Driven by real curiosity, we seek rich insights rather than copious amounts of data, favouring what really matters over wordy research reports. Our methodology is to ensure designers are always part of the research process so that they can get the full impact of user’s insights.
