What we’re about
Designing experiences is about more than strategists speculating internally about what might make a product great. Whether it's designing and developing software, mobile apps ( iOS, Android, etc), video games, even physical products or service design, it's critical that we step back, look at the bigger picture, explore the problem space more thoroughly, and think beyond our own spheres of influence by leveraging the people who will use the product or service that our team of makers is creating and folding those users into the product design and development process in order to gain crucial insight. Furthermore, we can leverage the principles of Lean UX/Lean Startup and Agile development practices to design experiments and build testable models using rapid prototyping techniques that let us measure our assumptions in actionable ways, so that we can minimize risk of building the wrong thing by knowing whether we're headed in the right direction. Lean UX is as close as we can get to predicting the future without a flux capacitor.

Experience designers and strategists have evolved from backgrounds in any of the following: design, development, business analysis, product management, and beyond. All you need is a passion for users, the constant urge to improve their experiences, and a creative mentality towards problem exploration, solution discovery and a fair amount of extroversion, and you can easily evolve into one as well.
Align with us as we re-learn how to learn, or help spread your existing know-how and experience with UX and all that it entails with those who aspire to take part in UX design, and together we can push forward toward the future of product design & development with momentum.
