We love Don Norman at Hostile Sheep; and believe in his premise that "We are all designers". This allows us to think of design in its broadest sense; essentially every decision is design, change is design. That being said, Hostile Sheep is an experience design shop that doesn't specialize in graphic design. Our specialties include interaction design, information architecture, interface design, and pattern-design. The majority of our projects falls into one of the following categories:
Low-fi prototype
Standard, annotated wireframes is an example of a low-fidelity prototype we occasionally create. We prefer interactive prototypes that our clients can view in a browser.
- We rely on user research, trends and data to define an initial design system.
- We'll use the design system to build a low-fi prototype that meets user needs.
- We'll document the design system with rationale product managers can use to support continuous improvement.
Product vision
A product vision is based on a synthesis of business goals and customer needs. It brings purpose to the product management team and defines WHY the product exists.
- We'll analyze existing research and data to define market and customer needs; mapping needs to feature-sets and a product roadmap.
- We'll prioritize business goals and clarify how they map to the product.
- We'll develop a product vision and host a workshop to gain team alignment.
Ad hoc deliverables
Our flexible on-call consulting blocks can be used to engage us on almost anything else you might need help with; from a simple user flow to a complex taxonomy.
- We can create deliverables (such as a user journey, interface design, or persona) where requirements are already known.
- We can make revisions, updates and refinements to our work.
- We can use these blocks as needed to remain involved throughout a project.
