Design Process

How We Work: Strategy-based Design

Strategy-based design is an iterative approach that leverages the best of lean methodology, human-centered design, and design thinking. In practice, we begin every creative challenge with a Discover phase, where we identify the problem, prepare and conduct research, and gather inspiration from a wide range of sources. From here, we enter a Define phase, where we tell stories, find patterns and frame early opportunities for design. Once articulated, we brainstorm possibilities and Develop our ideas, conceptually and concretely. Finally, once we are aligned on a way forward, we Deliver by refining our work through to completion.
