Advantages and Innovations
The consultancy provides design research services which offers unique advantages over traditional user research methods.

Design research goes beyond user research to explore all the factors that influence the product design process - the contexts and systems surrounding the product or service, the market, the structure of the business itself and the capabilities of the teams designing and maintaining those products and services.

Design research is a powerful decision-making tool. It shapes the entire design and business strategy. It combines practical insights about users with a deep understanding of the business and wider ecosystem to provide actionable design recommendations.

Design research supports decision making at every stage of design from generating new ideas, through product development and evolution, to attracting funding and growing the business itself.
