MSTQ seeks to master the ergonomics of the human mind to create great end-to-end experiences. Our Outcome-Centered Design™ process is rooted in storytelling, behavior, cognition, and art—it's industry and device agnostic. The process does not concern itself with the medium or its constraints. Rather, it is hyper-focused on delivering value to the real people that use what we make.
We create a research strategy that can actually be used. The foundation of every project is based on gathering evidence of psychological motivations, personality types, and pain points of end-users as well as the future behaviors we want to encourage.
User Research — Ethnographic Observations — Experience Mapping — Psychographic Persona Development — Storyframing
Every interface is meticulously crafted through a process of iterative prototyping and testing. The goal is to create a great end-to-end experience: ensuring that our UX/UI designs are not only usable but useful, pleasurable, and inspiring.
Heuristic Evaluation — UI/UX Design — Branding + Visual Design — Rapid prototyping — Motion and Animation — Concept Design — Usability Testing and Analytics
MSTQ’s practice hinges on cross-functional collaboration. Constructing rules and patterns of design systems helps your organization scale what we make, architecting products quickly and consistently. Design systems ensure the product visions we create grow beyond MSTQ’s involvement.
