What do we use to build a new product?
- It helps answer the questions: how many? How often? How much? Quantitative research aims to evaluate the data and usability of an existing product.
- Answers the question: why? Qualitative research aims to influence design decisions and address usability issues.
- These are a series of questions posed to several users that help researchers learn about the individuals who use the end product.
- The Design Sprint is a five-stage workshop. It is a quick and inexpensive way to validate hypotheses. The workshop consists of the following steps: – finding and understanding the problem, – identifying potential solutions to the problem, – visualizing solutions to the problem, – selecting a solution to work on and preparing a realistic prototype.
- A design method for generating ideas to solve a predefined design problem. Ideas are generated by answering “How might we…?” questions. This technique creates multiple views and makes connections between them to potentially find the best solution.
- Usability testing is one of the most effective methods of verifying if solutions are user-friendly and correspond to business goals. These tests allow us to check how users navigate the software or website and see where they encounter problems understanding the content or performing an action.
- Wireframing is the stage at which we create high-level (lo-fi) concept mockups. They are not intended to visually represent the interface, only the information architecture and functional design, i.e. how the product will meet the users’ objectives.
- For usability testing and validation, a product prototype is prepared to achieve the greatest possible visual similarity and a close approximation of operation to the final product. Work on the prototype begins with creating the entire prototype layout, followed by detailed prototyping of the individual screens.
- This is a set of guidelines and standard elements (components) for designing and developing a digital product. It responds to all questions and concerns about the product’s appearance for all those involved in production. The design system’s role is to provide a consistent visual language for the product.
- This is the writing of texts in a simple language that every user can understand. The most important thing here is to have a clear message and basic vocabulary that assimilates messages faster and eliminates difficulties in reading our intentions.
Improve an existing solution
Using our expertise, we can review your product to pinpoint where improvements will matter the most to your users.
This approach works well if you already have a working solution and want to upgrade the overall look and visual impact, add new functions or incorporate new ideas into your product.

- This is the design of interactive products to provide users a positive experience. A well-designed digital product should be attractive to the user, as well as functional and usable. User Experience Design determines how a product should behave in response to user actions.
- This approach allows the design and layout to automatically adapt to different mobile devices and screen sizes or browser windows. The characteristic of such a site is its versatility.
- This is an exercise designed for companies that can’t find the source of their problems. LDJ allows them to identify and define the issues and develop multiple solutions (often very creative or obvious solutions that may have been overlooked).
- A method that enables rapid iterations and improvements to a product. The highest value of an audit is the professional collation of the tested solution’s most significant advantages and disadvantages. The result is an audit report that includes a heuristic analysis, cognitive review and expert assessment.
Validate your product
We can help you with testing and evaluating your solution or prototype. We will watch, listen and talk to your customers as they engage with your product.
Our experienced team can also provide a report with solid recommendations based on an expert review, research and market analysis.

- Focuses on the visual layer of digital products. It includes the selection of appropriate fonts, icons, colors and images, as well as capturing a suitable space between elements. The “UI” encompasses all the aspects of the virtual product, such as buttons, forms, frames and tables.
Conduct Creative Workshop
Do you want to quickly test different approaches to your issues? Or maybe find the best way to solve the main problems in your project or team?
We provide a dedicated workshop that will allow your team to meet and exceed your goals, from Ideas Generation and Lightning Decision Jams to Product Design Sprints.
The Creative Workshop lasts a week and can be conducted in the office or remotely – whatever works best for you.

What do we use during the Creative Workshop?

- The Customer Journey Map is a tool that allows you to change your perspective and look at your product from the customer’s point of view. It enables you to spot potential problems and optimize processes. It is a set of interactions that the customer has to deal with during the fulfillment of the intended goal, e.g. during their purchase path. It is worth noting that different maps should be prepared for different audiences, as they have different needs and goals. One of the critical aspects of creating a map is to collate the touchpoints, i.e. the places where users interact with the product, and identify the main issues among them.
- It is an exercise designed for companies that can’t find the source of their problems. LDJ allows them to identify and define the issues and develop multiple solutions (often very creative or obvious ones that may have been overlooked).
