User Experience Design, or user-centered design, is no longer a nice to have; it is a must have. Pretty is not enough—users intuitively need to know how to use a site or an app. We strive to build it into everything we produce. We ask: “What can good UX do for you?” In the words of Frank Chimero—“People ignore design that ignores people.” Come talk to us, we can help.

The Certification Checklist (below) defines best practices in User Experience or UX design and is intended to be a resource for Product and Project teams. UX certification tasks are listed with short definitions and related resources. Domain teams may decide how much help they want, but they should demonstrate consideration of UX in their products. The UX team is ready to research, prototype, test, and assist as needed.
