Why we’re here

We’re changing how research is done.

The products and services we design, shape the world we live in. From paying a bill to accessing healthcare, this affects people’s everyday lives.

Research helps us understand these people, their stories and what they need, so we can design things better.

Too often research happens for the sake of it, we exclude people, cause harm or nothing happens with the findings. We want to change that.

We help you get closer to your customers, build UX research skills in your team and create the environment you need to do good research.

"Sophie is the best researcher we’ve ever worked with.

She’s meticulous and has an amazing ability to hone in on user and organisation needs in a way that’s holistic and supportive. This means her results really open eyes to what should be done straight away to make a better user experience, but also shows the potential of longer-term changes. Her approach doesn’t just look at tasks to hand, but organisation, communication, culture and people strategy. She hand holds clients through the process and helps them do more themselves. Sophie is also incredibly approachable and easy to work with. She gets the best out of everyone she works with."
