“It was a real pleasure to work with Purpose UX. It’s obvious you are masters of your craft. Looking back on our engagement, I was most impressed with your ability to quickly absorb information and really understand our team, product, and needs. From our experience working with other agencies and consultants, that’s not too common. Keep up the good work!”–Paul, Chief Product Officer at Dropsource

Discovery & Strategy

Building great products isn’t easy — it’s essential to build a shared understanding so that your team can execute on a common vision. We’ll work with you to define success criteria and build empathy with your target users. Then we’ll work together to establish the design principles that set you apart from your competitors and create an end-to-end map of how people will interact with your product. At the end of the workshop, you’ll have initial personas and workflows, a user journey map, and most importantly, a unified team vision for building something great!

1-2 workshop days

UX Strategy

Learn how to use lean research techniques to improve usability, get feedback, and avoid costly rework. You will learn how to integrate user feedback and testing into your existing workflow without losing velocity or breaking your budget. After completing this workshop, we’ll work with your team to design an initial user test, recruit from your target demographic, then execute the test and act on the results. With our resources and expertise, you’ll be able to validate ideas quickly and go to market with confidence.

2-3 workshop days, plus initial user test

Get a new style, a new look, and a new way to connect with your users. We’ll audit typography, colors, logos, UI, tone and voice, etc. to make sure your brand is sending the right message.
