The Art and Technology of Synthesis

Research
- Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed
- Primary and Secondary
We select methods based on the project objectives. Research often is overdone and wasteful, but it can be creatively optimized to achieve its goals.
Prototyping
Prototypes can take many shapes and scope, from a new interface idea to full system, from paper sketches to 3D realistic models or screen apps.
Concept Ideation
Proof of Concept
Proof of concept is whatever means it takes to prove that the product concept is valid from business and technology point of view at the minimal effort, time, and money.
Design
Design Workshops
We work with teams to mine existing ideas, facilitate generation of new ideas, and bring clarity and alignment to objectives, strategy, and requirements.
Together with our clients we customize workshops to fit the specific needs and culture. Workshops range from fast-paced ideation over a day or two to full-week design sprints.
Requirements and Brief
Focusing on meeting business objectives is often a challenge. We follow Einstein’s advice to keep the brief as simple as possible, but not simpler. The target is effectively communicating the product essence without undermining creativity.
CX/UX/UI Design
- User Journeys/Task Analyisis
- Information Hierarchy
- System Modelling
- Wireframes
- Visual Design
How users interact with the product at all the interface points with their senses, minds, and emotions, all determine how they experience it.
Agile iterations of design, build, and test with real users, is more effective than upfront lengthy and potentially expensive research work.
Architecture
Optimizing and translating the integration of design, business, and technology, to the right abstraction level that puts the development machine in motion is the role of architecture.
Product Design
Develop
Software Engineering
- Desktop, Web, and Mobile Apps
- Cloud
- Embedded
We have strong experience working with distributed and off-shore teams.
Some technologies our team has worked with are: native app software, cross-platforms tools (QT, Flutter), Azure, AWS, Alibaba Cloud, and more.
Hardware Engineering
We have strog experience in mechanical and electronic hardrware development that fits the manufacturing needs and costs targets.
Our team has extensive experience working with China manufacturing: selection, transfer, quality assurance, etc.
Project Management
We view project management as the guardian of the design intent: it assures that the design is accurately translated to the end product on time and on budget.
The role of project management goes beyond the scope of the current product, and it improves processes, tools, and culture to best postion the team for future work.
Quality Assurance & Control
Quality is intertwined throughout the development process in all phases, from planning to building and on to testing.
It assures that each component performs as specified, and the whole system delivers experiences that meet customers and users expectations.
Deployment
How the product reaches the users, wheter in the app store, by downloading, or deployment on cloud services, must be strategized and planned ahead of time to fit market and business models.
