User Research principles
Our principles guide us on how to uncover meaningful insights and create experiences that delight our users
1. Communicate findings with impact
Go beyond numbers. Present insights in a compelling way that drives decision-making and spurs action.
- How we deliver this
- Visual storytelling, workshops, and regular feedback loops with stakeholders.
2. Find the story behind the idea
Data is only as good as the insights it generates. Look for patterns, behaviours, and underlying reasons.
- How we deliver this
- Synthesise raw data into clear, actionable insights.
3. Observe actions, listen to words
People's actions often speak louder than their words. Observe user behaviour to gain a complete understanding.

4. Embed research throughout the product lifecycle
Champion various research methods at every product stage, making user insights a continuous guiding force.
