We tap into users’ inherent creativity to reveal design possibilities for the future

Our qualitative research methodologies combine what people say, do, and create into a comprehensive framework that reveals the full spectrum of their experiences, from expressed thoughts and desires to unspoken behaviors and interactions. We uncover richer, more layered, and spontaneous insights by integrating discussion, observation, and creative exercises that can inform the designs of the future.
