Engineering Practices
We are an Agile SCRUM / Lean UX shop, with small teams iterating on small problems. We use a rotating SCRUM master and an additional preflight meeting - a quick walk through explaining how you will tackle a problem (and any relevant alternatives), thereby facilitating integration between different subsystems and providing feedback from engineers prior to spending significant time writing code.
Because it is important to truly understand user experience, customer needs & pain points, and target market fit, engineers are required to perform / assist with user research.
No drama. No bullying. No politics. No Twitter. (Twitter/social media may be used only for professional purposes or to promote company objectives.)
Design Principles
Provide users with intuitive building blocks so that they may extend real world interaction patterns into virtual space.
Software complexity is reduced by hiding implementation details behind high-level abstractions.
All products are grounded in user research.
UX decisions are based on concepts from Lean UX, UI is Communication, Engineering-Psychology, or established best practice / social convention.
Individual creativity and imagination will help us to solve problems which cannot be solved through iteration. This requires a degree of intellectual rebelliousness.
It is through a critical understanding of technology and change that we may make intelligent design decisions, highlighting the need for an interdisciplinary approach.
Epistemology
Knowledge is based on empirical evidence, valid logical reasoning, and statistical significance.
We are students of anthropology and history. We are curious, open minded, thoughtful, & humble.
We seek out opposing points of view that challenge our own assumptions and bring us greater understanding.
Ethics
Our focus is on building a world class product and creating an unmatched customer experience. Through empowering users to become active participants in a digital society, we promote human self-determination and, in turn, human health, wealth, and happiness.
