EXPLORATORY RESEARCH
We are passionate about conducting research to discover unmet needs, innovation opportunities and powerful insights. By immersing ourselves into real-world environments, listening to people’s stories, observing their behaviours and asking the right questions, we help you create genuine solutions that make an impact.
Example methods we use at this stage include:
- Contextual Inquiry
- Design Ethnography
- Diary Studies
- User Journey Mapping
- Persona Creation
- In-Depth Interviews
- Empathy Mapping
