The ask

The senior leadership and research analysts at Phocuswright, a global travel research firm, felt stymied by their core platform's limited functionality and a suboptimal consumer user experience. As a result, the firm engaged with Prototypical to provide a modern reenvisioning of their product platform and create seamless UX for their high-end travel data and reports.

We reinvigorated Phocuswright's complex product platform by designing a user-friendly interactive prototype.

The work

Through presenting designs and a fully interactive prototype, we envisioned the future state of a new digital experience for Phocuswright’s core research product. The simulation allowed the client to get a feel for the user experience in action, so they could provide meaningful feedback. We delivered the conceptual design, prototype, and specs to the client's internal development team for implementation.

"They truly enjoy the challenge of implementing a client's vision. They are doing work they like and are good at, and that comes through in the energy that they brought to the project."
