Design Research
Create a deeper understanding
Conducting Design Research allows our team to validate that the problem we’re solving for is worth the time and money to solve for it. It develops a fuller understanding of the problem for the team from the eyes of the people using the product. Having that validation and team understanding sets the stage for the team to find ways to optimize for the problem at hand.
Discovery Sprints
Rapidly ideate and validate
Discovery Sprints help us rapidly validate that we are building the right set of features for the product so you don’t waste time and money. A five-phase process to help us unpack and organize the insights you have as subject matter experts, come up with innovative ways to solve for problems, and validate product assumptions. At the end of a discovery sprint, we have a user-centered product journey, a clickable prototype or Proof of Concept, key market insights validated with user research.
UX, UI, and Product Design
Create engaging user experiences
From strategy to implementation, we collaborate with you to design experiences that build successful products and businesses. We pay close attention to flows and not individual screens because we know that is what builds a great user experience. Each of our team members has a design mindset; all keeping your users top of mind.
Web Development
From your idea, to validated MVP and beyond
Whether you're building something from scratch or improving an existing product, our design and development consultants have you covered. Enjoy the ease of pulling in several Senior Developers and Designers to work alongside your team and enhance the speed and quality of your project for a flexible amount of time. While we have a rich history with Ruby on Rails, we use a range of technologies, including React and Elixir, to utilize the best tools for your application.

Help with hiring
You want to make sure you have a meaningful interview process and make the right choices to help you long into the future. Many product leaders over the years have looked to thoughtbot to provide coverage and the peace of mind that comes with trusted expert designers and developers.
