OUR FEATURED CLIENT
Gunnar Trommer
Managing Director + Partner at BCGX
UX + UI + Industrial Design: In-home Intelligent Diagnostic Product
In my present position as Managing Director and Partner at BCG X, we engaged DDSTUDIO to help our client transform their new technology into a product-market fit-tested commercial product. We were building a new product category in the medical space that required a design firm with an in-depth understanding of people, to create a product that they would embrace in their day-to-day lives.
We worked closely with DDSTUDIO on the UX research to identify pain points/confirm needs, designed and tested multiple iterations of the app, working closely with SW developers, to deliver a powerful MVP.
At the same time, DDSTUDIO helped our client ’s engineering team morph cutting-edge technology into working prototypes. The form factor was clever, intuitive, and appropriate for customer expectations.
“DDSTUDIO is a solid product design partner that has been my first choice numerous times now.”
TESTIMONIALS
I have had a working relationship with DDSTUDIO for twenty-five years. Over that time, we have developed a number of diverse projects including products for the eye care and dental field along with several instruments for the biotech sector. Working with DDSTUDIO has always been a pleasure and is usually the most fun part of any project. DDSTUDIO consistently comes up with award winning designs, which our customers love. From the engineering side, working with DDSTUDIO is very simple, they understand how to work back and forth with our engineers to create a design which is aesthetic, but does not create unnecessary engineering challenges or impact to product cost. To sum it up, I have had a great experience working with the team at DDSTUDIO, and I hope to do more projects with them in the future.
The DDSTUDIO team took the WOLF G2 to the next level. Their process of using human-centered design ensured that user workflow was at the forefront of all design decisions.
Working with the DDSTUDIO team is always a treat! They are a group full of creativity, personality, and fresh ideas. I have only worked with them in the casino gaming space, but I love hearing about all their other ventures and how they bring that varied influence to every project they work on. When it comes to the job, they are quick to implement feedback and stay in partnership through every phase of the product development cycle. I love bringing new slot machines to life with this group!
The results are a next generation of future proof machine that leap frogs the competition. We bet on DDSTUDIO as our design partner of choice because their team had no fear and embraced the mandate to generate innovation aligned to our business and thinking. DDSTUDIO’s methodology for creation was quick, efficient, and innovative in itself by including tools like virtual reality, which allowed us to see and walk around our new products in a casino setting.
The VR for the shield product is a great way to demonstrate the features of the product because of the number of applications that cannot be shown in the traditional booth setting. This is a great way for users to understand the capabilities of installing the unit. This is a great way to augment the application of the hardware by showing some of the applications in a virtual format.
