Our offerings
Product & Service Design – with researchers, cultural & creative industries practitioners, software developers and business analysts co-create solutions to the toughest problems by the client brief. The approach to problem-solving is human-centered, collaborative with a fair churn of iterations aligning with business objectives and innovative outcomes.
Growth & Creative Strategy – through our immersive research into human needs and experiences, we identify new opportunities and convert them into products, services, and interventions that will matter the most to people.
Research – we provide research and analysis that offers clients actionable solutions to their problems. We are a full service research agency answering questions about markets, consumers and lifestyles across some African countries via quantitative and qualitative studies. We specialize in the inventory, collection, and analysis of primary research data for businesses, NGOs, governments and other institutions.
Cultural & Creative Intelligence – reframing differentiates our design practice. We frame from a point of Afrikan Indigenous Knowledge Systems and layer lean methodology tools to guide solution strategy, design and rollout. We layer this intelligence through data tools.
