We Uncover the Why

The Sisu approach is designed to be collaborative, responsive and extensible. We work in both agile and waterfall methodologies, and our project & product managers establish a cadence that provides transparency and precision. With gorgeous designs, smart development and open, transparent communication, we smooth the way to great results.

A Process of Precision + Transparency

1
 /

Initiation

From the first time we meet, we're eager to learn as much as we can about our clients and their customers, how they work and what will set the engagement up for success. We establish how we can all share information, communicate easily and make the best decisions for the work going forward.

Discovery & Strategy

Sisu brings a strategic eye to all of our projects because we know that our clients need to understand the ‘why’ so we can deliver the best ‘what.’ Through interviews, analytics review and market research, we unlock the best way to solve challenges for our clients and their users.

User Experience

Our user experience (UX) process spans simple wireframes all the way to deep content strategy. Throughout, Sisu leans into the concept of co-design: more than just keeping users in mind, we gather insights -- through interviews, personas, journey maps, and more -- to learn and ensure the final product actually serves their goals. Accessibility and inclusivity are guiding tenants to our approach.

Visual (UI) Design

Our approach to visual design involves systemic UI and functional layouts with beauty and on-brand panache. No matter the platform, we implement component based, logical design to ensure designs can be extended and expanded.

Development

Technology moves rapidly, and for projects we code in-house (or with one of our excellent partners), we offer a layer of technical management to add transparency. Our design team works hand-in-hand with our developers to refine the work as static design becomes an interactive product.

Delivery

The last mile on a project can often be the trickiest. Whether that’s QA testing of a site or preparing design files for handoff to a partner, we make sure all of the work we’ve done is usable and performant.

Validation & Iteration

Digital projects are by nature living works of art, and our goal is to make sure they are contemporary and expressive. We support and refine our products through maintenance and feature expansion.

Sisu Culture

Collaboration, Coffee, Canines

Through the years, Sisu has developed a vibrant culture founded in collaboration and curiosity. We gather every morning to share personal stories as well as project plans. We work hard to create exceptional work while keeping the day-to-day light and lively. Whether it’s a client’s success, pet videos, or the latest from the Sisu Book Club, we’re here to share, listen, and learn.

We’re not afraid to challenge how we do things, aiming to get a little better every day, and get a lot better over time. We treat everyone‚clients, colleagues, partners—with respect, care and trust. We’re patient. We’re good listeners. We’re driven and motivated. We’re excited about where we’re at. And yeah, we love our doggos.
