Our approach

A process with you in mind

Our formula for creating standout digital products? A Discovery Process rooted in collaboration and iteration. We dive into workshops and maintain continuous feedback loops to guarantee we’re addressing the correct challenges, leading to solutions that stand the test of time.

Our methodical approach unfolds across four phases, meticulously designed to ask the right questions, gain a deep understanding of your business, and refine ideas together with you. Think of us as an extension of your team, and yourself as part of ours.

Our discovery process

1
Understand

Here, we pinpoint the exact problem that your product aims to solve. This crucial step is taken in close collaboration with key stakeholders to ensure unity and clarity of purpose from the outset.

2
Ideate

This phase is all about crafting the solution blueprint. We compile a comprehensive list of features and strategically prioritize them, setting the stage for what comes next.

3
Shape

Depending on the project, this stage might involve developing the product’s design system and creating a prototype. Alternatively, we might conduct usability testing to ensure our designs hit the mark before moving into development.

4
Plan

As we wrap up our Discovery Process, the excitement builds. We lay out the estimation and development roadmap or gear up for the next iteration. This phase is where we hand over the roadmap and recommendations, equipping you for a successful journey ahead.

Our approach is to establish a comprehensive design language, creating a cohesive set of design components—from typography and buttons to dialogues and menus—for consistency and efficiency across your product.

05

Prototyping

We create interactive prototypes, simulating user journeys to explore and evaluate the user interface and experience design in action.

06

Visual Identity

Our expertise extends to defining the visual essence of your brand, crafting recognizable elements like logos and brand colour schemes that resonate with your customers.

What to expect

Active input

Our method is all about immersion. We hit the ground running (on site), engage stakeholders, conduct user interviews, and dive deep into research to truly understand the people at the heart of the challenges we’re addressing. This deep dive enables us to ground our solutions in simplicity and intuition, making them effortlessly understandable and user-friendly.

Proven methods and data-driven solutions

Great ideas abound, but without clear comprehension and usability by your target audience, they may fall flat. Our strategy is always underpinned by solid data, thorough research, and analytical rigour, ensuring our designs are not only innovative but also resonate with users effectively and meaningfully.

Iteration

Keeping the rhythm of your project, you’ll see your ideas take shape through weekly iterations, building upon the feedback and developments of the previous week. This continuous dialogue, by way of a “project pulse,” means your project is built incrementally, and we are in lockstep with you all the while.

Quality

Our aim goes beyond creating visually appealing designs—we strive to deliver the right design that aligns with your strategic goals. By adhering to and surpassing industry standards, we ensure the end product is not just stunning but also simple, intuitive, and exactly what users are looking for.

Common questions

FAQ about digital product design

What is digital product design?

Digital product design is the end-to-end process of turning a business opportunity into a useful, intuitive, and scalable digital experience. It brings together user research, UX and UI design, prototyping, usability testing, and product strategy. At Osedea, we balance user needs, business goals, and technical realities to design web and mobile applications, and software products that are both beautifully designed and ready to build.

How much does it cost to design a digital product?

The cost of designing a digital product depends on several factors, including the project’s complexity, the number of features and user journeys, the level of research required, and the expected deliverables, such as an interactive prototype or design system. As a general guideline, a standard Discovery phase typically costs between CAD $30,000 and $50,000. This phase helps clarify your needs, prioritize features, and establish a practical roadmap for your project. It reduces uncertainty and helps ensure your investment results in a solution that truly meets your users’ needs and business objectives

Why should I start a digital project with design instead of development?

Starting with design helps ensure you’re solving the right problem before investing in development. Through user research, collaborative workshops, prototyping, and usability testing, we align user needs, business goals, and technical realities early on. This reduces uncertainty, prevents costly rework, and gives your team a clear, validated roadmap for building a digital product that creates real value.

What is Osedea’s approach to design?

Our collaborative Discovery Process unfolds in four phases: Understand, Ideate, Shape, and Plan. We start by defining the right problem with your stakeholders and users. Then, we explore and prioritize ideas, create user journeys, prototypes, or design systems, and validate key assumptions through usability testing. You leave with clear recommendations and a practical roadmap for development, not just a collection of attractive screens.

Can Osedea improve or redesign an existing digital product?

Yes. We can begin with a UX audit of your existing website, application, or software platform to identify friction, accessibility concerns, inconsistencies, and opportunities for improvement. Using analytics, stakeholder input, user research, and usability testing, we prioritize the changes that can create the most value. Depending on your needs, we can refine specific journeys or rethink the complete product experience.

How do you make sure a digital product meets real user needs?

We involve users throughout the design process instead of waiting until launch to collect feedback. Our team combines interviews, research, journey mapping, interactive prototypes, and usability testing to understand how people think and where they encounter friction. Each iteration gives us evidence to refine the experience, creating a product that feels simple, relevant, and intuitive.

Can Osedea help us design and build an MVP?

Absolutely. We help teams define a focused minimum viable product by identifying the essential user journeys and prioritizing features according to user value, business impact, and technical effort. We then prototype and test the experience before establishing a realistic development roadmap. This approach helps you reach the market sooner, learn from real users, and build a strong foundation that can evolve over time.

What is the difference between UX and UI design?

UX (user experience) design focuses on how a digital product works and feels, from understanding user needs to creating clear, intuitive journeys. UI (user interface) design focuses on how the product looks and how users interact with its visual elements, such as typography, colours, buttons, and menus. The two work together: UX makes the experience useful and seamless, while UI brings it to life through an engaging, consistent interface.
