Service Design
Having a service perspective allows a designer to see how solutions fit into a larger, end-to-end picture so that a customer can enjoy a comprehensive and cohesive experience across a company’s various, multichannel touchpoints.
User Research
Design research needs spans the whole design process from exploratory, problem framing research to usability testing as a solution is being crafted. Strong principles and insights drawn from research can steer a project to success.
Interaction Design
Taking insights and turning them into tangible solutions that people can use involves close attention to detail. Strong interaction design considers the content strategy, information architecture, and visual design.
Workshop Facilitation
Design work is never done solo. The design process requires input and collaboration with a wide variety of stakeholders. The ability to pull a team together and guiding them through the design thinking process is a crucial part of designing.
