Don't start with development - start with design. Becoming a design-led organization (like Airbnb, Apple, or Netflix) and investing in design at the beginning of a product development life cycle will have a profound impact on the success of your product and will transform your business. Our program will teach your teams how to incorporate design as a strategic department in your organization. By having innovative solutions to business challenges solved before development begins, you will save costs on tech debt and increase time to market. This early investment helps shape a product's vision, user experience, and functionality in ways that pay off throughout its development and beyond.
We know that there's no generic 'one size fits all' when it comes to a design-led company's culture, product requirements, or user base. That's why we start by creating a custom design process that is uniquely tailored to the specific needs, goals, and challenges of your organization. This allows your design decisions to support your business objectives, whether it's increasing conversion rates, improving customer retention, or optimizing operational efficiency. By crafting a custom UX design process, we ensure that design efforts are aligned with your business strategy, operational workflow, and long-term goals.
Once a design process has been established, we work with your organization's values, goals, and user needs to develop design principles. Design principles are a set of guidelines infused into your workflow that reflect your design-led company's mission and vision. They are consulted regularly to provide collaboration and guidance on creating cohesive experiences across products, platforms, and teams. They also serve as a consistent framework to reference when evaluating new ideas or approaches. When faced with design choices, a set of well-established design principles can help your team prioritize options that align best with the overall vision and strategy, reducing ambiguity and improving decision-making.
We then build upon your design principles to create a design system for your design-led company. A design system is a collection of reusable components, guidelines, and best practices that define the visual, functional, and experiential aspects of your products. Having a design system in place ensures consistency, scalability, and efficiency in your organization's product design and development. As you develop multiple products or services, a design system ensures that the user experience remains cohesive and provides a library of pre-designed, reusable components so your designers and developers don’t need to reinvent the wheel each time a new feature or product is added. This greatly accelerates the design and development process for faster time-to-market.
Investing in design at the beginning of the product development cycle is a strategic decision that pays off in multiple ways. From improving product-market fit and customer satisfaction to reducing costs and risks, early investment in design lays the groundwork for a product that’s not only successful at launch but also sustainable and scalable over time. This commitment demonstrates foresight and a long-term vision, helping to ensure the product's success and the company’s overall growth.
When the design team is utilized early in the strategy phase of your product development, you have structure and guidelines in place to bring clarity to the rest of the development process. By defining clear design standards and creating reusable components, the chances of mistakes or miscommunications decrease, leading to fewer revisions and less rework. This can significantly shorten the product development timeline, allowing your company to launch faster and capture market share sooner.
Having a clear framework for design established at the beginning of a project helps identify the best ways to optimize available resources—whether it's time, budget, or personnel—based on your company's specific needs. It also gives all team members the tools to make confident decisions quickly, reducing delays that can occur when teams have to stop and reconsider every design choice. This leads to more efficient design processes, speeding up development cycles and ultimately reducing tech debt by providing an adaptable and scalable approach to design.
Investing in design upfront helps establish a shared language, design standards, and workflows that ensure your design outputs remain cohesive, regardless of who is working on them or where they’re being produced . It ensure that all design work is consistent with the company’s mission and business objectives across all products, and that every user touchpoint reflects the same experience and messaging. Clear design principles also helps establish your differentiators from competitors, creating consistency in what makes your company unique in terms of visuals, voice, and overall user experience.
A strong design vision helps align teams around a common understanding of their roles in the design process and how they can contribute.. With a central set of guidelines, all stakeholders—designers, developers, product managers, and marketers—can be on the same page when discussing new features or redesigns, ensuring that design decisions are made in line with the company’s overall goals. This cohesion can result in a smoother development process and a more unified product strategy.
