TESTIMONIALS

"Fisher & Paykel are developing a new generation of user focussed
product interfaces. Zanzara has assisted us greatly in this process by conducting
usability studies to help validate our thinking. The results of this evaluation were presented as clear, understandable action points that allowed us to improve our designs in simple and effective ways. By utilising Zanzara's experience and understanding of the customer, we were able to move forward with confidence in the preferred design."

"Working with Amanda was truly a great experience. Amanda delivered on her promises and executed her tasks to a very high professional level. Not only did she deliver on time but also remained within budget. She was quick to grasp the concept and did a great analysis of the problem at hand. The biggest value from working with Amanda was that she is also capable to provide us with possible solutions making the user interface far simpler and easier to use."

"Zanzara has become an instrumental facet in our product development process. The team from Zanzara has consistently shown the unique ability to identify the salient elements of our customer's experience well ahead of physical prototypes and demonstrable product. This attribute coupled with Zanzara's sound fundamentals in user research has enabled FlashPoint to successfully navigate many complex usability and interaction design challenges."

"Excellent facilitator. Instrumental in ensuring that there was a process involved in the design, rather than personal agendas. Also ran very reasonable and productive meetings. Saw the overall design that was emerging and helped the best points become the backbone of what we were doing.

General productivity - I felt that Zanzara’s involvement helped us get the
project done. There was no wasted time when we did those design meetings. No
process for the sake of process."

"The 60+-screen storyboard created by Zanzara has been the "bible" for development of the web-based graphical interface for our next-generation IP Management product. It was delivered on time, within budget, and has received kudos from our product's early testers."

"The user-focused participatory design process pioneered at Zanzara is the best method of product design that I have come across in my 18 years of designing products. Working closely with the Zanzara team, I have repeatedly witnessed the success of designs driven with this methodology. I am consistently impressed with the thoroughness and insight that the Zanzara team brings to the projects that they have consulted on for me and would recommend their services without hesitation to anyone seeking interface and product design help. They are the best at what they do."
