How we do
Research-heavy and Strategy-led Design
More than designing the product/service itself, 6amlab is considering the product/service in the ecosystem of business, technology and human need. We usually start with Future Study technique and Trend Analysis methodology to "get smart" about the project, then conduct human-centered research to find insights of customer's need, want and desire as well as opportunities for the business. Next, we visualize the user experience for the next phase of design.
