User Research

We don’t assume to know what your customers think, or how they behave. We do use a wide variety of robust research methods to discover who they are and what they need.

Your company and customers should always be at the centre of the design process

And user-centred design should always be based on a solid foundation of research. We do this by discovering more about your target users and also looking into any relevant behaviour and trends. This helps us to build a better picture of who your customers are and what they want from the experience.

Investigate

We speak to target users to explore current use and future needs.

Typical techniques:

  • Surveys
  • Depth interviews
  • Focus groups
  • Workshops
  • True Intent
  • Analytics reviews

Observe

We observe current behaviour to undercover hidden needs.

Typical techniques:

Illustrate

We report the insights using empathy-building visuals.
