Evidence-driven design
Blink designs and usability tests workflow-driven desktop, web and mobile software applications. We specialize in making systems intuitive, engaging, and easy to use. We excel at balancing user needs with complex business requirements. Our team of senior consultants provides the following services in standalone modules or as a complete user-centered design project:
Our clients range from startups to Fortune 500 companies throughout North America.
We had customers saying they didn’t need the help materials at all—that they could easily get their work done now without it. That was a big change from our previous design. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome of the project.
