Our Process

Briefing

The first step in the process is a free-of-charge digital or face-to-face briefing, in which we obtain all the details of the brief and the required deliverables.

Research

A design team is assigned to your project. The team then conduct necessary preliminary primary and secondary research to inform the design solution and deliverables.

Strategise

The research data is then aggregated to identify the key insights and current trends. This culminates in a strategic direction that guides designs.

Design

Deliverables are created and any necessary mock-ups and demos are crafted. This is an iterative process of creating and consulting.

Refine

Once a creative direction has been established, deliverables are reviewed and refined according to your feedback during final consultations.

Test

Final deliverables are user-tested. This involves co-design with end-consumers to ensure that deliverables are functional, impactful and effective.

Deploy

Design deliverables are sent to you in a ready-to-launch format. Our team then tracks and stores necessary analytics to ensure future value for your brand.
