We are empathetic
Technology has the power to create a lot of good in the world. The power to connect people and the power to change lives. Sadly, the world is filled with too many poor user experiences from AIUX to employee systems. We want this to change.
We are a team of UX consultants led by Taryn D'Souza, founded with a vision to collaborate with companies and build powerful product and user experiences. Our mission is to democratise access to high-quality UX research, discovery, testing, audits, and design for companies of all sizes and budgets.
Our signature Rapid UX Discovery and Evaluation Method is an efficient, affordable, no-fluff approach to enhancing user experiences. We empower both startups and established companies to invest in UX, helping them avoid costly mistakes and unnecessary redesigns.
We provide clarity, helping teams focus on solving the right problems and building effective solutions based on well-tested assumptions, saving time, money, and effort.
