Duration:
10.00 - 18.00
Location:
Impact Hub Athens
A small yet multidisciplinary and experienced team of professionals who share a common vision:
- To support the creation of better products and services through in depth analysis of human behavior.
- To leverage UX research in order to inform the design process and optimize the user experience.
We help companies to deeply understand users' & customers' experiences from beginning to end across multiple platforms and channels.
Our DNA
Research oriented
We strongly support and apply UX (or user) research practices in the design process. To echo Hoa Loranger, “UX without user research is not UX”.
Data & methodology driven
We love mixed methods approach. That means we employ both quantitative and qualitative methods. We apply experimental process design for building superior products.
Users’ advocate
We begin with focus on humans and we end up with focus on humans. Technology is fascinating but it’s just the medium.
Our mantra
If you can not measure it, you can not improve it.
- Lord Kelvin, 1867
Our Values
We love simplicity
and elegance.
We ground our work on scientific
principles and rigor but we keep
flexibility.
We seek for the new
but we honor tradition.
Balance and integrity:
That’s who we are in life,
that’s who we are in business.
