Guiding markets towards growth, innovate, and scale
We build scalable digital products and brands that set new standards across key global industries
Fintech & Banking
Banking and fintech products people trust
We design mobile banking apps, digital wallets and fintech platforms that make money feel simple and safe, from onboarding and KYC to payments and lending. Our work balances regulatory requirements with the clarity customers need to adopt a product and keep using it.
Financial Inclusion
Financial services that reach everyone
We design digital financial services for first-time and underserved users, including rural, low-literacy and women customers across South Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Our field research shapes products built for trust, low connectivity and real-world constraints, from mobile wallets to agent networks.
Health Care
Health research that reaches the hardest-to-reach
We research and design health services with low-resource communities, especially women and girls in developing countries, using safeguarding-led field methods on issues from childhood malnutrition to menstrual health and gender-based violence. We also design digital health platforms and healthcare management portals for providers and health authorities.
Public Sector
Evidence and
design for better governmentWe help ministries and public agencies make better decisions and deliver better services, from policy research and strategic recommendations to service design and citizen portals. Whether the outcome is a report for senior leadership or a service used by millions, we ground it in evidence from the people and systems involved.
Startups
From startup idea
to market fitWe help founders validate ideas, design MVPs and build brands that early users and investors take seriously. Then we keep iterating with you as the product grows, so you don’t need a new agency at every stage.
AI Products
AI product design
for a moving targetWe design agentic AI platforms, assistants and analytics dashboards, often staying with teams from first concept through successive releases as models and capabilities shift underneath them. We also build and use AI tools in our own research and business development work, so we design from hands-on experience rather than theory.
