EXPERIENCE STRATEGY · DECISION SYSTEMS

Most experience problems are decision problems.

We uncover what's really driving the problem, then redesign the system behind the decision.

THE DIAGNOSIS

The presenting problem is rarely the real one. We identify the hidden constraints that stop customers from moving forward with confidence. 

THE ARCHITECTURE

We design the future state in enough detail for a team to build it and for a board to back it.

Clients include TD, Rogers, WestJet, Shopify, Informatica, RBC and HP.

FEATURED WORK · PC FINANCIAL

Customers had choices. What they needed was clarity.

Customers moving money between their own accounts abandoned the flow because they couldn't tell what the system would do next. The redesign made four things explicit at every step: who has authority, what the structure is, where the boundaries sit, and what state things are in.

WHAT WE WORK ON

Behind most broken journeys is a decision no one designed. 

We find the choices and rules inside complex experiences, then redesign them so people can move forward. 

Decision systems

Clarifying choices, trade-offs, and constraints so people can decide with confidence.

Complex journeys

Mapping and redesigning end-to-end experiences to remove friction and drop-off. 

Product & service strategy

Turning insight into strategy that aligns business goals with customer behaviour.

Experience communication

Writing and designing content that makes complicated systems clear. 

WESTJET · SELF-SERVICE EXPERIENCE DESIGN

The baggage rules were complicated. Getting answers didn't have to be. 

Baggage was one of the top reasons customers called. Allowances depended on fare, destination, status and card benefits, making a seemingly simple question unexpectedly complex.

We mapped the rules and decision logic, shaped the experience from early concept through prototype and design, and wrote the content that turned that complexity into a clear, intuitive self-serve tool.

TD INSURANCE · CONVERSION EXPERIENCE DESIGN

The CTA wasn’t the problem. The purchase journey was.

The original ask was to change a single call-to-action button. Looking across the journey revealed a bigger problem: customers were told they were almost done when they weren't, asked for personal information without enough context, and presented with actions that didn't match where they were in the purchase.

We restructured the final steps around clearer expectations, information hierarchy and actions, making the path to purchase easier to understand and complete.

RBC ROYAL BANK OF CANADA · DIGITAL ONBOARDING

The account opening was digital. The signature wasn’t.

Opening an account still depended on an in-person signature. We led design strategy and content design for the move to a fully digital account-opening experience, including Click to Sign.

Working through prototyping, user testing, iteration and implementation, we helped shape the journey from application through electronic signature.
