Let’s design and develop a great product while leveling up your team
Design Research
Create a deeper understanding
Conducting Design Research allows our team to validate that the problem we're solving for is worth the time and money to solve for it. It develops a fuller understanding of the problem for the team from the eyes of the people using the product. Having that validation and team understanding sets the stage for the team to find innovative solutions to the problem.
Product Design Sprints
Rapidly ideate & validate
Design Sprints help us rapidly validate that we are building the right set of features for the product so you don’t waste time and money. A five phase process that help us unpack and organize the insights you have as subject matter experts, come up with innovative ways to solve for problems, and validate product assumptions. At the end of a design sprint, we have a prototype for running user interviews with.
UX, UI, & Product Design

Engagements go beyond pixels and code
Mentoring your team
Our clients tell us their favorite part of a thoughtbot engagement is the change we leave behind by working side by side with your team. Whether it’s improved processes and collaboration, advice on hiring, or junior developers leveling up their skills, you’ll notice a positive cultural shift.
Deploy & Learn
Your product is never done. Past features can be improved and new features can be added. Our mission is to leave you in a place where you can confidently maintain the product and have the tools and knowledge to test, assess, and make the best decisions after our engagement together has concluded.
Help with hiring
You want to make sure you have a meaningful interview process and making the right choices to help you long into the future. Many product leaders over the years have looked to thoughtbot to provide coverage and the peace of mind that comes with trusted expert designers and developers.
I’m very impressed with the high level at which they are thinking about and producing their work. Everything—from the way they run their company to the way they organize their office—is set up in such a mindful, intentional way.
