Although we’re techies at heart, we’re also dedicated evangelists for User Centred Design and apply those methodologies and principles throughout our work. We have been involved with both brown and greenfield projects across a variety of devices and platforms. We always work and communicate exceptionally well in multi-discipline teams and can adapt our workflows to suit both Agile and Waterfall development environments.
We thrive on finding elegant, playful and engaging solutions to design problems and excel at working in fast moving, dynamic and exciting “start-up like” environments. We’ve provided both embedded and remote workers and provide self-motivated contractors who are excellent communicators and reliable members of any team.
