Bz Logo2

The Bronx Zoo welcomes over 2 million guests per year. A large and increasing percentage of those visitors purchase their tickets online, particularly on mobile which accounts for more than half of visits to BronxZoo.com. We have worked with them over several years to create an exhaustive, ongoing A/B testing approach to optimize their online ticket and membership sales.

Craig Exhibit

Craig Hospital is a speciality hospital with a specific primary audience: patient caregivers who have just gone through traumatic experiences. Conducting a series of on-site patient interviews allowed us to keep patients' stories and capabilities at top of mind throughout the design process and advocate for site structure and content that best served caregivers.

A critical requirement of our website redesign for Mass General, ranked #1 hospital by U.S. News and World Report in 2015, was validating that our design solutions improved findability and the usability of key actions like choosing a doctor. Several days of in-person usability testing with representative users in Boston helped us build evidence-based consensus for UI changes among a large network of internal stakeholders.

Privia Listing

To design a care management application for nurse advisors at Privia Medical Group, we spent time talking with them about how they care for their patients. User interviews and in-context observation gave us a firsthand glimpse into the complexity of nurses’ daily work, which provided clear direction for the application’s design and implementation.
