Adopt a user centred approach to design.

Designing products or services that truly meet user’s needs is a process of continuous learning and iteration. Achieving this is harder than it sounds. It takes expertise, experience, and a willingness to test assumptions, discard ideas, and adapt as you learn more.

That’s why clients choose us to support their in-house teams’ implement user centred approaches to product and service design.

What is product and service design?

Product and service design is focussed on identifying and investigating how best to solve a problem or pain point. At Border Crossing UX we adopt a user centred approach to design. That means we focus on:

  • Identifying the core challenge and its key stakeholders
  • Exploring the problem area and the people it impacts
  • Prioritising needs and identifying potential solutions
  • Generating concepts and testing proposed solutions
  • Delivering the required solution and ongoing feedback loops required

For over 10 years, our user centred approach to product and service design has helped a broad range of clients minimise risk and get to market faster.
