At Non-Adjective, we help organisations improve digital products by understanding user needs, identifying friction points, and designing experiences that are easier, clearer, and more effective.


The digital products could be internal tools used by their employees or external tools such as SaaS software, mobile apps, or websites that are used by their customers. Depending on the project needs, we conduct research, redesign existing products, create new user experiences, test prototypes, and help teams make more informed product decisions.

User research is especially important for launching new products and for product enhancements. When designing new products, it is important to first understand the users that we’re designing for. Such research can also be used to validate and refine the team’s understanding of the pain points that the product is trying to solve for.

Having the user journey clearly mapped out allows organisations to have clarity over how the user will experience the product. This visibility on the level of ease/difficulty of using the product enables organisations to test out different flows in the product, and also to troubleshoot where friction might occur.

It is almost always easier to build from scratch than to fix something that was not built properly. Therefore, it is crucial to have confidence in the product being built. This is where wireframing and prototypes come in useful - they allow organisations to see a ‘sample’ of the product and to evaluate and refine it before committing valuable development resources.

Depending on the level of conviction and importance of the feature or product in mind, either low or high-fidelity wireframes and prototypes can be produced. Low-fidelity for early concept exploration and rapid idea testing, and high-fidelity for committed ideas to be rigorously tested.

‘Even the best fall down sometimes’ - this is true for engineering and product teams. Even the best software engineering teams will inevitably produce bugs, and even the best product managers might have missed assumptions. That is why usability testing is so important. Something that looked good on paper might not actually work the way we imagined it to.

More than ‘making things look nice’, UI design also considers clarity and usability, making sure that the visual interface is as intuitive as possible. This results in a pleasant and cohesive look and feel that is often also made congruent with the company’s branding.
