burberry world - platform

While working with R\GA London we helped Burberry design the Burberry World platform integrated with a Salesforce base.  The platform was to be used by the full spectrum of their supply chain, from customers to suppliers with a consistent design and experience.

RESEARCH

• Workshops with stakeholders from customers to suppliers

• Field visits and ethnographic studies

• Salesforce capabilities and gap analysis

NBC Universal - Unwrapt

A platform to gift people TV shows and movies from various networks. We designed a fresh look and feel with an interactive prototype for the app.

Concept: “Fun-damentalism”. People are getting militant about brightening up their friend’s day. Giving a gift can bring about a change in the way they feel through positive action. Unwrapt empowers the consumer to change their loved one’s day for the better.

nhsa go smart 

Go Smart is one of NHSA’s signature initiatives and serves as a national model for integrating physical activity across all areas of early learning in Head Start programs. It is one way NHSA delivers on its strategic mission to improve the health and development of young children aged birth to 5 and engage their families.

Our challenge was to take the NHSA's offline materials and create an online platform where parents, teachers and children could access activities. The platform needed to be easily updated by users and provide logged in states where one could save and retrieve personalised content.

We built a fun and easy to use CMS populated with illustrations from Peskimo (of Alphablocks fame).

debenhams - ux for new platform

As part of the drive to improve customer experience across all its platforms, Debenhams partnered with UserZoom, a user experience research and testing SaaS platform, to help create better UX as shoppers become increasingly mobile.

We worked with Debenhams to help design the experience for their new digital presence.  User research, such as interview, workshops, card sorting and other exercises were undertaken to understand the needs, before engaging UzerZoom's platform.

ART OF ARSENAL

We designed and built this online application for Arsenal FC that allows users to create and share their own Arsenal artwork. The website increases Arsenal’s digital membership by encouraging users to sign up to the service after they have created their personalised image.

UBS Neo - PLATFORM UXD

Looking into the future of what its clients will need from their Investment Banking partners, UBS decided to undertake a ground-breaking initiative. Working with a team of 36 UX designers we created UBS Neo, an entirely new approach to investment banking client engagement. UBS Neo is a platform that unifies and delivers the very best of UBS; its people, content, research, trading ideas, pricing and execution capabilities. It was developed to provide the firm’s clients with a seamless cross-asset experience, and a fully integrated cross-functional experience, all in one place.

faberge at harrods of london

Fabergé commissioned AKQA to create a trompe l’oiel for their centrepiece window installation and we helped them deliver it. We engineered three over-sized, spinning thaumatropes - a popular Victorian toy, normally hand-twirled, that blends two images into a simple animation. 

An iPad app, embedded in a “magical dressing mirror”, helped visitors place themselves in digital versions of the spinning thaumatropes and share the rersults online.
