Human-Centered Process
Psycho Aesthetics® (P/A) is our unique approach to design thinking.
Over the years, P/A has evolved into a top-tier design-thinking tool. It offers designers a clear approach to research, design, UX, branding, naming, mission statements, user interaction, and more. It offers a design framework that combines key insights with a “hero’s journey” for everyone involved. Extending from consumers to our team members.
P/A is a versatile design tool, and its potential depends on one’s willingness and talent to use it. Combined with “design doing,” success is exponentially advanced when created through this framework.

Ethnographic Research
We root our design thinking in ethnographies, studying consumers in their daily lives. We observe them everywhere, from homes to hobbies. When we can’t be there, we use technology to gain insights and gather data. This experience helps us turn insights from ethnographies into award-winning designs.
Industrial Product Strategy Design
We take a comprehensive approach when planning a consumer device. Beyond just the product, we consider client goals, budgets, regulations, and market needs. We balance features, cost, and timing to create a product consumers want at the right price.
Our designers focus on the entire user experience, from manuals to graphics and servicing. We also consider the product’s lifespan, determine which parts users can replace, and figure out how to disassemble it.
