Our methodology
Value-driven design
Value-driven design is a design framework of processes that product owners and designers can use to make a (digital) product or service valuable to all its stakeholders. Put simply, design is the act of solving a problem, resulting in a product or service. Value-driven design provides clarity and focus to make sure that the part of the problem the designer solves brings value to all involved.
User-centered design
User-centered design puts the user at the heart of everything. The goal is to design digital products and services that help users do what they want in the best possible way. Which is why the methods and processes underpinning our services always focus on users: their aims, needs, preferences and context when using digital products. From analysis and research to testing at different phases of the design process.
