NO MORE BUSY WORK
The old UX agency model calls for large open-ended and vague contracts. We believe that our sprint system creates a higher level of focus that saves time and money for the clients we serve. Now more than ever it’s important for startups and innovative companies to design, test, and iterate quickly. Toi provides small disciplined teams with dedicated experts in UX & product design that come into work on your UX challenges with a lean and iterative process.
Core Principles
A Toi/Client Team
Our clients work with us and actively participate in the design process. We believe in the creativity and intelligence of our clients and love when they become a part of the story and solution in building better experiences for their users.
Small Team, Big Expertise
Forget paying for dozens of designers, researchers, and strategists. We have a small yet versatile team that blends design, research, and strategy into the entire sprint process.
From 0 to Prototype in Just a Few Sprints
It’s absolutely vital for startups and innovative companies to get products and ideas to market and in front of users as soon as possible. By working in sprints we are able to get ideas, products, and experiences tested and closer to launch faster than through traditional agency methods.
DEVELOPER FRIENDLY
Developers love working with us. We are software agnostic, it doesn’t matter to us. We use Adobe, Sketch or Figma and deliver files how your devs want them.Our invision prototypes create a realistic, clickable experience that everyone is aligned on, so there’s never any confusion or bottlenecks.
