User Experience Design

User Experience Design

We’ve seen a lot of experience design presentations where executives roll their eyes and say, this is another area that’s going to cost more, take more time, and add little value. And we’re first to agree that when design is simply for its own sake, without regard to functionality or goals, then it’s merely an ego trip.

But when done right, design is a powerful tool that cuts project time, reduces development costs, and dramatically improves overall solution effectiveness.

At Universal Mind, design is not just about making things pretty. It’s a rigorous problem solving exercise.

We create experiences that produce desired perceptions, cognition, and behavior among your users, customers, visitors, audiences—any term that describes the people who will interact with what we build. Our designers understand the need to collaborate with the people who’ll be using the application every day.

What’s more, we understand that cross-pollination is key. There are no silos here. Our approach means designers of many specializations work lockstep with our technologists to create solutions that meld form, function and business value.

Because in today’s vastly expanding world of rich Internet applications, our creativity and commitment mean the difference between a shiny object and an application that drives user loyalty, demonstrates ROI and puts you ahead of the competition.

UX Team

What makes a good user experience designer?

Somebody who asks questions while observing actions to understand what people really need as opposed to what they say they need. Somebody who’s constantly looking at the world and reevaluating what they can do to enhance an experience. Who has a heightened awareness of everything that’s going on in their surroundings and can break it down, turn it into components, and put them into applications where it makes sense. Who’s trying to make an application as real-life as possible, as if it’s part of the landscape.

The user experience designers at Universal Mind have those qualities and more.
