Empathy, Empowerment, Ethics & Experiences by Design.

So what is hfux?

hfux is a UX Design consultancy that went pear-shaped. Initially started as a UX Architect workshop it emerged into something very different: I realized that a deep understanding of human capacities, needs and cognitive efforts helps in building products, applying agile principles, leading software teams and acting in a responsible, sustainable way. 

The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, `which is to be master - - that's all.   - for me, it's all about people. 

Empathy

If you want to create a valuable product or service, you have to deeply understand peoples needs and behaviours.

hfux is using highly effective, proven methods to ensure that your company is listening & learning from those people who should buy or use your products and services. 

Empowerment

Digital products today can be so much more than simple tools. Embedded in eco-systems and supported by Data Intelligence, digital systems don't have to be mindless, demanding machines that users have to feed. Likewise, you only get to great results if you trust and empower your team with the right tools and appreciation. 

hfux is building teams that are ready to do things that will make a difference.

Ethics

While digital products are everywhere and often almost indispensable, it's often hard to understand how they operate, what's been done with our data and if it's all safe to use. 

hfux is using methods to identify and highlight critical risks that could undermine people's trust in a service. It's about responsible tech and building services that are fair, open and honest.  

Experiences

Digital systems, products and services are everywhere around us in our jobs and and home. hfux is making sure that your users experience your companies products and services as helpful, supportive and mindful of the way humans perceive and think. Some call this UX.
