Highlights from Recent Projects
Grand Studio was engaged by a food technology nonprofit to conduct market research regarding new products and initiatives. The firm identified consumer needs and potential solutions, conducted interviews with members, and co-developed a discussion guide. Grand Studio also created wireframes from scratch and tested them. The project lasted from September 2020 to January 2023, with the lead designer, Nicole, as the main point of contact. The collaboration was successful, with the client appreciating Grand Studio's expertise in an unfamiliar territory.
The SaaS company Elton enlisted the services of Grand Studio for UI and UX design of their flagship product. Grand Studio was also tasked with providing brand identity and product design advice. The firm translated business requirements into a design, understood the end-to-end value of Elton's product, and translated it into UX workflows. They also delivered a UI that could be used by the development team. The client chose Grand Studio for their geographic proximity and cultural fit, and the project was successfully executed by 2-5 employees.
Grand Studio was hired by McDonald's Global to collect and synthesize customer research, lead the team through the Design Thinking process and project management, and provide resources to support learning and research. The firm collected and assessed internal SME and customer opinions about the current processes for obtaining formal customer feedback. They identified potential barriers and pain points and used the data to create concepts for a new end-to-end customer feedback program. The program was designed to be implemented across channels and improve the quality of feedback to drive measurable action across stores worldwide. The client found Grand Studio through a referral and appreciated their great cultural fit.
