FAQ

We are dedicated to transforming customer satisfaction into intentional and impactful customer delight. Our approach is rooted in human-centered design, allowing us to uncover hidden user needs and pain points that were previously overlooked. Whether we're working on service design or digital transformation, we keep a keen focus on users while ensuring alignment with our client's business goals. This delicate balance enables us to craft customer experiences that not only delight users but also deliver tangible value to our clients, seamlessly integrating systems and processes to create new platforms, systems, and applications. 

To see our approach to CX in action, head to our smart card integration case study. We helped our client, a public transportation authority, make a paradigm shift to human-centered design for a new website and mobile app. The new CX alleviated customer frustration, leveraged motivational user experience to drive engagement, and supported the client’s business objectives. 

Online retailers must leverage their unique strengths to grow in markets dominated by brick-and-mortar. Our team worked with an online jewelry retailer seeking to grow their wedding band category where they struggled to compete with in-store experiences. We began by identifying specific customer needs that aligned with our client's competitive advantages. Our research revealed that while wedding band shopping isn't driven by convenience, it is deeply personal and often requires a wide selection to find the perfect match. Our strategy, built on extensive user research, involved creating a personalized experience with an expansive variety of wedding band options accompanied by intuitive filters to support decision-making and integrated virtual try-on functionality. These tailored solutions resulted in a personalized and comprehensive ecommerce experience, enabling our client to perform in a market that was previously dominated by brick-and-mortar competitors. 

Understanding your customers' needs is an excellent first step, but the strategy phase is vital to validate these insights and craft a roadmap that guides the design process: 

  • Deep insights: We go beyond surface-level needs to discover underlying customer requirements and opportunities 
  • Validated assumptions: Before design work begins, we help ensure that the project's direction is sound and aligned with user needs and business goals 
  • Risk mitigation and cost savings: By identifying the most impactful problems and focusing on the most viable solutions, we minimize risk and reduce the need for costly revisions 
  • Stakeholder alignment: Creating a shared vision aligns stakeholders and streamlines decision-making 
  • Reduced change management: Involving stakeholders and end users from the onset increases rates of adoption and minimizes the need for an extensive communication after launch 

A human-centered strategy is critical when integrating emerging technologies because it grounds innovation in actual user needs and behaviors. By focusing on how employees interact with technology to meet their objectives, organizations can position advanced technologies to create more meaningful and effective solutions. 

For an insurance company that faced challenges with a manual reporting process, we took a human-centered approach to understand the employee perspective and develop a holistic solution. The result was a streamlined and intentionally automated portal co-created with end-users. The portal allowed employees to work more efficiently with fewer errors and delays, and to focus on value-adding tasks.   

Human-centered strategy supports the design and development of technology applications that are intuitive and relevant, leading to higher adoption rates and greater satisfaction. And considering the entire ecosystem in which these technologies will operate helps create comprehensive solutions that integrate seamlessly into users’ lives and workflows.
