How We Do It

We design to help you get to market quickly. Through continuous iterations and testing validations, we create a future-proofed, resilient product for you.

Foundation: Best Interest

We believe in building the right foundation through user research, discovery, technology and analytics to understand who the users are to align business and customer goals.

Acceleration: Move slower, to move faster

Our concept of slow is critical in moving quickly and is a theoretical abstraction of our UX and design capabilities, experience and agility towards efficient delivery.

Cut the Crap: No bullshit.

We believe in doing great work. No big reveals, no buzzwords. You will never hear us talk about "leveraging" this or that. We deliver ideas represented in prototypes and systems that are ready for deployment. There aren't any hanging fruits nor oceans to boil.

Partner-Led: Purposely small and nimble.

Prototypical was founded by UX and development veterans whose products span across many industries. We were the folks larger agencies and consulting firms hired to design user-centered solutions that inspire and create positive emotional connections.

Collaboration: We don't know everything.

We don't make outrageous claims. We work alongside our clients as one single team to achieve the highest possible results. Great ideas come from anywhere and anyone.
