Who should work with them?
Early-stage startups to Fortune 100 companies seeking end-to-end product design and engineering solutions from concept to manufacturing across multiple industries.
Non-Profits with large budgets to understand and design solutions to social problems.
Artefact started like us, i.e. a classic product design firm with a practice in UX design and HMI. Because of market conditions they have pivoted to services and clients that won’t in-house their skills. So, if you are UNICEF or the Dubai Future Foundation, or the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, with large budgets you may prefer to work with Artefact. That said, you have other options. There is a fundamental reason why we integrated our Service and (digital) UX design practice, because the approach to both rests on the same fundamentals – a rigorous uncovering and understanding of human experience, social behaviors, economic and political issues, physical and mental interaction, and contemporary culture. So, if you’re looking for the same outcomes, but would benefit from a fully flexible engagement model, a scalable team, with an automatically-international and universal perspective, then BangDesign* is your better choice.
