We offer a combination of skills and intimate knowledge of the

Integrated Product Development processes that enables us to

combine design and engineering expertise to create user oriented,

practical, desirable and technically functional products for real world

use. Systematic research and creative methods gives us insight to

realize needs of future successful products and services in a concrete

way.


Building success stories through integrated

experience based design


•Graphical User Interface Design

•User Research Services

•Usability and Ergonomics Design

•Usability Assessment and Testing

•Service Design

Our EXPERIENCE services cover usability and

ergonomic design, assessment and testing as

well as UI design.

Usability is not a separate component of design;

rather, it is linked to the process from start to

finish. Assessments are performed to ensure

that the product being developed meets the

needs and expectations of users and

customers, while also taking into account the

goals of the end-user’s work or other activity.

We deliver to our clients both conceptual and

strategic studies, as well as concrete products.

EXPERIENCE services

INNOVATE

• Idea Creation

• Problem solving

All successful products have initially been ideas.

Many times new ideas are born in the minds of

individuals, but they can be also created in a

controlled manner in groups. Idealization in a

group can be a great tool when new ideas are

needed in faster pace.

Our INNOVATE services are designed to create

new product and service ideas and resolve

product-related problems. In idea making

processes we use the most widely-known

methods and our own specific variations of

them.
