Our Expertise
Human-Centered Design (HCD)
Providing an exceptional user experience begins with listening to your audience. HCD is a proven methodology in the digital product design space that embraces involving users throughout the process and designing solutions that successfully meet their needs. Throughout the HCD lifecycle, we join usability and accessibility to ensure standards are met early on.
UX Governance
Organized UX governance is essential for providing a seamless experience when user journeys span multiple components or programs. Whether evolving existing style guidelines, patterns or design systems, or creating new frameworks, we take a proactive approach toward maintaining consistent use, cross-organizational coordination, and overall design quality.
Customer Experience
Mediabarn has extensive experience establishing customer experience (CX) teams in private and public sectors by combining the priorities of President Biden’s Executive Order on Transforming Federal Customer Experience. Mediabarn is fully capable of establishing a centralized core CX team to effectively coordinate with government agencies to advance their CX initiatives. We focus on creating effective customer experiences built on human-centered research and design methodologies.
User Research
Our research capabilities span a range of qualitative and quantitative methods and include usability testing, focus groups, interviews and surveys. Research initiatives can be conducted either at our modern UX Lab facility located in the Washington, DC area or remotely, and are supported by a full-service lab operations (LabOps) team.
Service Design
Mediabarn leverages Service Design to integrate products and services across an enterprise to deliver a seamless cohesive Experience, connecting the dots so that customers don’t have to. Both digital and non-digital interactions across the front and back stages are evaluated, ideated, designed, prototyped, tested, and iterated upon so that every action from enterprise is coordinated to maximize customer value. Mediabarn’s Service Design capability is already helping clients within the Healthcare Industry and at the Social Security Administration.
Agile Friendly
Our human centered design (HCD) approach seamlessly integrates with Agile development cycles by providing iterative designs that are informed by user research and testing.
Types of Engagements
There are many benefits of having a centralized UX research and design team help drive strategy, governance, and execution, with end users as the primary focus for how designs are developed and implemented.
