Human factors

Our team of human factors consultants brings together 200+ combined years of experience in ergonomics, psychology, engineering, product design and communications. This diversity of expertise helps us to be pragmatic in our assessments and recommendations while bringing clarity of vision to our partnerships.

From identifying user needs to improving user experience, we have developed a toolkit for assessing and optimising the user interface. We help you plan your human factors pathway from day one of your development, to meet the requirements of a highly regulated industry.

Making products that are safer, easier and loved by their users – that’s what we’ve done for our clients over the last 20 years, and they keep coming back.
