Design is critical to creating great software — software that is useful, desirable, and marketable. At Atomic Object we practice design as a holistic discipline that includes planning, communication, aesthetics and implementation. This holistic approach means our designers are involved throughout the creation of your product.

Research & Strategic Design

We begin product development with light-weight research to ensure we’re building the right product using tools like user interviews, personas, innovation games, paper and dynamic prototypes.

We then work to understand the strategic direction and boundaries of your product using tools like wireframes, design studios and storytelling.

Visual Design

With the boundaries of the big picture defined, visual design unfolds incrementally alongside development. Atomic’s approach ensures a product development effort that is highly responsive to change and preserves options.

Validation

We constantly look for ways to confirm the hypotheses influencing our design. A/B testing, user interviews, and usability testing are among the tools we use to ensure your product’s success.

Front-end Development

We believe the best software comes from integrated, poly-skilled teams teams of generalist developers and designers. One of the meeting points for both design and development is the front-end. Our designers are skilled at many of the technical UI development tools.

Strategic Partnerships

Atomic has teamed up with Cooper as an Integrated Product Development partner. Our partnership with Cooper gives us extraordinary depth-of-bench to integrate top-notch user research and Goal-Directed design practitioners into our teams during early project planning and short cycle iterations. An Atomic/Cooper Integrated Product Development team is most effective when your product’s quality and success critically depends on understanding your users and customers through research backed and user validated design decisions. The Atomic/Cooper partnership focuses on delivering a high level of design and technical excellence.
