Our Design Philosophy
We know there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to every challenge, but we are experts in design thinking which gives us a process to take a creative approach, and explore possibilities to create elegant and delightful solutions to real business and design challenges.
We provide a range of design, UX and research services, from early stages of research and discovery, to late stages of product development and design. We also bring cutting-edge knowledge of the latest HCI practices and machine learning. Our diverse team draws on knowledge from backgrounds in behavioural sciences, fine arts, new media, and interactive technologies. We apply techniques beyond the industry standards, from human centred design, affective computing, situated interaction, multisensory design, and adaptive gamification, among others.
User Centered Design
We know that good design starts with the user and that’s why we have built our design process around the best practices of user-centered design methodologies. From the smallest to the largest projects, we have a very clear design process that allows to dream up creative solutions, while also delivery concrete products that genuinely address your users’ needs.
Discovery
In the first phase we figure out where you are, where you want to get, what exists and how to get there. Some crucial Business analysis UX research Technical requirements Team composition
UX Research; Requirements; Business Analysis; User Profile; User Flows
Invention
Based on the parameters we Discovered, it’s time to get creative and divergent. We explore different directions, alternatives, and find the most appropriate solution.
Brainstorming; Co-Creation; Design Space; Scenarios; Storyboards
Design
It’s time to bring the concept to life. We iteratively create and develop the solution until it meets all the requirements, and maybe even passes some initial tests.
Task Flows; Visual Design; Wireframes; Rapid prototyping
Evaluation
Once the project is complete, we give can provide additional user testing and support. We are ready to continuously test and develop as your needs and users evolve.

UX Research
Our UX research packages come in pre-made sets, customizable sets, or an entirely custom service. Pick what you need and we’ll handle the rest! We offer research design, participant recruitment, user testing, emotion recognition powered by machine learning, quantitative and qualitative analytics, and a design proposal.
Research Design
What type of a study would fit best to your goals? Card-sort, interview, survey, think aloud, evaluative methods, or perhaps a combination of several? We’ll help you decide.
Participant Recruitment
Finding the right people to test your software is difficult and time consuming. We’re experienced in sampling and studying participants the right way.
User Testing
If you already have a participant sample and just need us to conduct the testing.
Emotion Recognition
We’re pretty proud of this one – we use a machine learning algorithm that detects emotions from the participant’s face when they’re using your application. The recognised emotions can then be used as a basis for future design decisions.
Quantitative and Qualitative Analytics
For interviews and think aloud sessions, we conduct thematic analyses and emotion capture techniques to give you the important insights. For surveys and numerical data, we conduct descriptive statistics and further statistical testing if feasible.
Design Proposal
We offer an evidence-based proposal for your new and improved design, applying HCI principles from the Instrumental Interaction Model and Dilemma-Based Design.

Emotion Recognition – AI-Powered
We offer a service to analyse video recordings for emotional expressions via AI and machine learning. We’ll then annotate and crunch the output data into statistics and deliver you a report.
Accurate Customer Reactions
Our service can be used to better detect and automate customers’ and test users’ emotional reactions to marketing messages and products. The result is more accurate, AI-powered analytics that can be used for better customer acquisition and user experience, leading to more profits.
Extra Knowledge
As extras for the base service, we also provide user research services where we’ll recruit and record the test sessions. In addition, for product research we offer a Dilemma-Based Design proposal based on the emotion capture from the video feeds. The Dilemma-Based Design concept taps into the user’s internal dilemmas and provides an integrated solution for it. The resulting design drives user retention through a human-centred approach.
The Emotions We Track:
Calmness
Anger
Happiness
Surprise
Disgust

AR and VR Development
We specialised in Virtual and Augmented Reality during our studies at Université Paris-Saclay – the hotspot for European XR research. Our work for VR and AR includes a collaborative VR Smart City planner, an AR body-part shopping experience, and an EMDR therapy design for VR – not to mention the secret projects we’re currently working on!
