3. DEFINE
It is critical to clearly define the entire project
methodology as it helps everyone to make clear
decisions regarding project objectives, scope,
timelines, and scope.
We think about the audience we are trying to reach
and how they complete tasks. Requirements are
identified resulting in a list of necessary business,
user, and functional requirements.
By working collaboratively with our clients every
structural & design element is optimized around
the needs of business goals and users.

4. We believe research is imperative to achieve
business success. We research to gather ideas
and gain knowledge of our client’s competition,
markets, and customers.
Research ensures truly evidence- based design
that delivers our clients business goals. This helps
us to open up and explore the problem space and
the market we are working in,
Our research methods include competitor
benchmarking, best practice analysis, expert
reviews, stake holder interviews, surveys, and user
testing, which helps everyone the starting point of
design.

5. BRAINSTORM
We use brainstorming to start to share and
develop initial ideas and interaction concepts. It is
an iterative process resulting in problem solving
and design solutions
We start general and end specific, writing down
and or sketching everything. At this stage in
design we defer judgment, let the ideas flow, pose
questions, and tackle different dimensions of the
ideas. We encourage all ideas at this stage while
staying focused on the topic.

6. Sketching/Wire framing (ranging from hand drawn
sketches through to high fidelity wireframes) is a
key part of our design process.
This allows us to explore design choices,
conceptualize functionality, and test theories with
users, stakeholders, designers, and developers
prior to starting development.

7. DESIGN
Good design begins with defining the problem. A
solution cannot be reached until there is a firm
understanding of the project.

8. REVIEW & REVISE
Redesigning user interfaces on the basis of user
testing substantially improves usability.
Gathering and analyzing user feedback throughout
the process helps define key areas of
improvement.

9. PROTOTYPE
Using an interactive prototype allows us to define
the interaction flow or the user interface at a very
early stage.
Prototyping generates feedback early in the design
process. Usability and A/B Testing also benefits
greatly through the use of interactive prototype by
providing richer interactions than static images,
which are hard to piece together. Investing in the
use of prototyping early on cuts down on
development time by understanding the interaction
model and communication feedback early on.

10. DELIVER
Deliverables vary for each project but include
assets along every step. Examples are
wireframes, sketches, prototypes, style tiles,
mind maps, mocks and final development assets.
All of this culminates in the delivery of a robust
and engaging application.
