Potential Scope of Work (Illustrative Examples)

This document serves to outline our general need for flexible design support. A more detailed Scope of Work (SoW) could be developed collaboratively if we move forward with a partnership. However, to help you understand the type of advanced design work and skill sets we anticipate needing support as our project needs evolve, this section provides illustrative examples. Given our focus on advanced design for product concepts and experiences, the flexible resources we would tap into would primarily supplement our internal UX/Experience Designers, and Industrial Designers. Based on our anticipated project pipeline, the activities for flexible support may involve, but are not limited to, the following types of advanced design tasks: Concept Development & Proposal Creation: Based on gathered insights and strategic objectives, developing compelling product proposals. This requires synthesizing quantitative customer data with qualitative insights to define the core value proposition and shape initial design directions.

Detailed Design & Solutioning:

·         Translating approved concepts and proposals into more detailed design solutions across digital (UX/UI) and physical (ID) touchpoints, ensuring alignment with user needs and technical feasibility.

·         Prototyping:

·         Creating interactive, low-to-medium fidelity prototypes (both digital and physical) to effectively communicate design intent, explore interactions, and facilitate early validation.

·         Evaluation & Refinement:

·         Participating in or leading design evaluation activities, potentially including co-creation sessions or further design research, to gather feedback on proposed solutions. Iterating on designs based on feedback and insights.

·         Documentation:

·         Contributing to the refinement of design proposals and potentially assisting in writing baseline

·         Experience Requirements to clearly articulate the desired user outcomes and functional needs.

·         What We're Looking for in a Partner¿ We are looking for a consultancy that demonstrates:

·         Flexibility and Responsiveness:

·         Ability to ramp up resources relatively quickly when needed and adapt to changing priorities.

·         High-Quality Design Output:

·         A strong portfolio and track record of delivering excellent design work.

·         Seamless Collaboration:

·         Experience working effectively with internal client teams, integrating into existing workflows, and strong communication skills.

·         Reliability:

·         Consistently meeting deadlines and delivering on commitments.

·         Relevant Expertise:

·         Experience in the specific design disciplines relevant to our potential needs (listed above) and proficiency with our core design tools Figma, Blender, Rhino, Alias, Adobe Creative Suite, Miro, ProtoPie, and VRED.

·         Understanding of Our Business:

·         While not strictly required initially, an ability to quickly understand our industry, target audience, and business goals is a significant plus.

·         Onsite: You will be expected to be onsite / in-person at least four days per week.

Skills Required:

·         UI/UX DESIGN

Skills Preferred:

·         User Experience Design (UX)

Experience Required:

·         Required Skill Sets & Profiles

·         To effectively provide the flexible support needed for our advanced design work and integrate seamlessly with our internal human-centered design team, we anticipate requiring resources with specific, experienced skill sets. The flexible support would ideally supplement our team by providing individuals capable of stepping into the following roles:

·         UX / Experience Designers:

·         We seek UX/Experience Designers who can work strategically based on customer insights and business objectives to identify and define compelling digital and service experience opportunities. This includes expertise in user flows, information architecture, wireframing, interaction design, and creating interactive digital prototypes. Experience in shaping holistic experiences that span physical and digital touchpoints is highly valued.

·         It is crucial for candidates in all these roles, particularly the designers, to have an understanding of or experience working within projects that involve the integration of physical product design with digital user experiences. Our advanced design work frequently operates at the intersection of these domains, and the ability to think holistically across the physical and digital touchpoints of a product or service is a significant advantage.

·         Experience collaborating closely with Industrial Designers and Design Researchers is essential.

·         We are generally looking for experienced, senior-level practitioners in these fields who are comfortable working on ambiguous, front-end "advanced design" problems and can operate with a degree of autonomy and strategic thinking once onboarded and integrated into our workflow.
