Design Process

Discovery

Defining the “whys”

We meet with you to explore your project. Whether it's partially developed or still a concept, we work with you (and your team) on a design sprint to define features and storyboard use-cases. 

On the tail-end of “Discovery" we craft a product identity, vision, and produce early marketing collateral.

Early Validation

internal high-fives

In this phase we iteratively explore and evaluate competing user flows through interactive wireframe prototypes. These help to garner a feel for the app in the early going.

The goal of this phase is to internally validate key assumptions and make key decisions around trade-offs.

Prototype & Final UI

testing in the wild

Here we create high fidelity prototypes and comb through the user experience unearthed in controlled usability testing (with end-users).

To conclude we start building the product with your engineers or with one of our development partners.

Today every industry
is a tech industry

A good user interface has become
a de facto competitive advantage

t.Stacks
for iOS & Android

t.Stacks explores a solution to the problem of tracking personal goals over time. It visualizes progress relative to the categories, goals & milestones a user has set. The app looks to make what can often feel like abstract progress a bit more tangible, knowable, and satisfying.

On the technical side, the project is using one codebase (Famo.us + Meteor) to deploy to both iOS & Android. It's currently an early prototype. If you'd like to collaborate please write taylor@colortheory.io.
