Over the last decade, hedgehog lab has seen significant transformation in its design team, roles, practices, and its strategic integration into our core business offerings.
The structure of the design team has evolved to include various roles such as UX Research, Service Design, and integrated positions like Product Management within the wider business. The addition of flexible roles, to augment its in-house teams such as on-demand UX researchers and designers has allowed hedgehog lab to quickly adapt to changing project requirements and client needs.
User research has become a fundamental part of hedgehog lab’s design practice, greatly improving our products and services. Techniques such as ethnographic studies, customer journey mapping, and rapid prototyping testing have been crucial in understanding and meeting user needs more effectively, leading to deeper insights and improved product offerings.
The inclusion of product management within the design team has brought a more comprehensive and strategic approach to product development. This integration ensures that product design focuses not only on aesthetics but also on functionality, user experience, and alignment with business goals.
The design team’s role in client projects has been essential in achieving high user satisfaction and business success. For instance, through iterative design and consistent end-user feedback, we developed mobile applications that significantly increased user engagement and financial management for clients like AJ Bell.
The design team has significantly contributed to the revenue growth and strengthening of hedgehog lab’s position in the market. Through strategic user experience research and innovative design solutions, the team has facilitated new business pitches and created products closely aligned with consumer needs and technological advancements.
hedgehog lab’s current design practice combines rigorous user research, collaborative design processes, and continuous learning. We leverage tools and methodologies such as Lean UX, rapid prototyping, and behavioural science to ensure that our solutions not only meet but exceed the expectations of users and clients.
