Research & insights

Enriching experiences are grounded in understanding human behaviour. Our understanding of motivations and needs informs every part of our work.

Primary Research

We establish what’s most important to potential consumers and brand stakeholders by gathering primary data through interviews and surveys.

By employing methodologies such as contextual enquiry, co-design workshops and diary studies, we enrich our understanding of authentic user behaviour.

User Journey Mapping

Our unique processes use storytelling and detailed research to choreograph people’s functional and emotional experience within spaces, digital products & services.

How we do it
User Centred design process

Design has the power to ensure truly exceptional presences which look great, work well, and inspire. But only if it is oriented around deep insight into the specific functional and emotional needs of the target audience. We have put this principle at the heart of every project we do, developing unique tools and methods to make it happen effectively and swiftly.
