Our Cambridge and London presence allows us to provide local expertise whilst drawing on international Experience Thinking methodology. We understand the unique characteristics of British business culture, regulatory environments, and user expectations. Our UK team combines global design expertise with deep knowledge of local markets, enabling us to create experiences that resonate authentically with British audiences whilst meeting international standards.

Local insight: Our proximity to Cambridge's tech sector and London's financial district gives us direct access to diverse UK market insights.

We work with organisations ranging from NHS trusts to fintech startups, bringing consistent quality with local relevance.

Differentiator: Our proven Experience Thinking framework adapts to UK market conditions whilst maintaining methodological rigour.

Compliance is integrated into our Experience Thinking process from project inception. We understand UK accessibility requirements, GDPR implications for user research, and industry-specific regulations affecting digital experiences. Our team stays current with guidance from bodies like the ICO, ensuring that user-centred design principles align with British legal and regulatory frameworks.

Compliance approach: We build regulatory considerations into design decisions rather than treating them as afterthoughts.

We've worked extensively with UK public sector clients, understanding the unique challenges of serving diverse citizen needs whilst operating within government frameworks.

Yes, we serve clients throughout England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, understanding regional differences and local market conditions. Our Cambridge and London locations provide excellent transport links, but we also work effectively with remote collaboration when needed. We appreciate the diversity within UK markets and adapt our approach accordingly whilst maintaining consistent methodology and quality standards.

Geographic reach: We understand that 'UK market' encompasses diverse regions with distinct characteristics and user needs.

Data protection is fundamental to our research methodology, not an add-on consideration. We implement privacy-by-design principles in all user research activities, ensuring GDPR compliance whilst gathering meaningful insights. Our processes include clear consent mechanisms, data minimisation principles, and secure handling procedures that meet ICO standards. We help clients understand how user-centred design and privacy protection work together.

Privacy approach: We demonstrate that rigorous data protection enhances rather than compromises quality user research.

Inclusive design is core to Experience Thinking, not a separate consideration. We follow UK accessibility standards whilst going beyond compliance to create genuinely inclusive experiences. Our approach considers the full spectrum of user abilities, circumstances, and preferences. We understand that good accessibility benefits all users, not just those with specific needs, and helps organisations reach broader audiences more effectively.

Accessibility philosophy: We design for inclusion from the start rather than retrofitting accessibility features.

We recognise that British organisational cultures vary significantly - from traditional institutions to innovative startups.

We believe in building long-term partnerships rather than transactional relationships.

Partnership approach: We focus on building organisational UX capability rather than creating dependency on external support.
