Different Projects

We're digital product designers & makers.


We help companies and organisations design and build multi-platform digital products, services and interfaces that users love.

Projects

Here are some of the things we've been working on lately. Follow us to be first to know about what we're up to.

Toptable iPhone app & mobile site

We designed the user experience and interface for Toptable's (OpenTable Europe) iPhone app and mobile website bringing Toptable's booking experience to mobile users for the first time. The app lets Toptable users browse nearby restaurants, book tables, and even calculate tips and select wines. The app was downloaded something like 100,000 times in the first two weeks after launch. View the mobile site Download the iPhone App

Orange I Am

Orange's first employee social network – designed and built by us. It supported the launch of the "I am" brand campaign and got employees energised about the new positioning by allowing them to create their own profiles and unique "I am" personal statements to share which could then be printed on physical objects like notebooks and t-shirts.

Channel 4 Alone in the Wild

This Channel 4 reality documentary dropped a guy (Ed) into the Canadian wilderness with not much more than a tent, flashlight and GPS device to see what would happen. We created a second screen app for the C4 site allowing viewers to track Ed's movements and read his daily tweets (via a Google Maps/Twitter integration) during the programme's duration.

Orange Community

We created a complete volunteering app for Orange employees – allowing them to find, register for and book volunteering dates with Orange-supported charities nationwide and then create an interactive diary of their experience to share with the company.

EE VP Space

We built this internal social blogging platform for the leadership at EE (Everything Everywhere) to allow them to communicate more frequently and share their objectives with employees in a way they can relate to. Now EE leaders can post text, photos, video or short status messages whenever they want to the entire company. And employees can use common social features (liking, tagging, commenting, ask me anything) to send feedback and new ideas straight to the top.

Office Group Network

The Office Group specialises in design-led, environmentally-friendly offices and co-working in 14 very unique spaces around London. We designed and built the social network that's accessible by all the businesses in their properties. It gives the businesses a networking tool to connect with each other for sharing tips and advice, promoting and trading services, and finding out about news and events going on within the network. We've also done their public marketing site too.

Orange Intranet UX Redesign

Working closely with Orange, we conducted a strategic overhaul of their UK intranet's information architecture and overall user experience. Using participative techniques including workshops, interviews, and card sorts we devised a new unified information architecture which rationalised the diverse content and simplified user journeys to key content and features for the internal audience of 15,000 employees. The resulting intranet (rebranded EE after Orange and T-Mobile joined forces) was named a Top 10 Global Intranet in the Nielsen/Norman Group's 2012 Intranet Annual.

Phaidon 30,000 Years of Art

One of our favorite projects for Phaidon Press, this microsite was commissioned to promote the launch of Phaidon's massive 30,000 Years of Art book. Includes an interactive timeline, zoom-able page spreads and a quiz to test your art history knowledge.

Orange Quick Tap

Quick Tap is Orange and Barclaycard's brand new contactless mobile payments service (a first in the UK) and it may just represent the future of buying stuff. We created these fun little 3D animated films to promote the launch of the service, showing how to use it and how cool it is to pay for stuff with your phone.

ITV X-Factor

ITV Digital commissioned us to work alongside X-Factor's digital production team to create all new UX and visual design concepts for the 2010 season X-Factor site on ITV.com.

What we do

We're a friendly bunch of UX strategists, designers and developers interested in designing and making digital products that matter.

We've helped global companies (and their agencies) create disruptive digital products & services, progressive organisations get closer to their users, and nimble startups get off the ground with specific UX or development consulting. We're big fans of close collaboration with our clients and getting feedback early (and often) from real users. For those reasons we like to approach all our projects using lean and agile principles.

We believe digital products should work seamlessly across platforms (desktop, mobile, tablet, connected TV and whatever's next) making use of each platform's unique features to deliver the most relevant experience possible.

And this is what we do:
