We design better digital products and services.
We’re not a team of yes people. We work with you to understand your users and potential customers to create better digital experiences.
From websites to chat bots and mobile apps, we have the capacity to create, test and get your digital product up and running…
Brief: Doteveryone had a challenge. To find better ways of engaging the public around complex digital issues. Traditional methods (such as a citizen jury) are not always the right way. Our mission was to prototype new methods of engagement and test those with the public.
Process: Working closely with an in house team we used the manufactured dilemma; “Is access to the internet a right or a privilege?”. We created a set of different experiments that we tested with the public to see how different methods of engagement worked.
Result: We designed and developed some prototypes for testing at a library in London and a community center in Chesterfield. These will go live on the web to begin measurement.
Brief: The Department for Education (DfE) asked Paper to conduct user research into how people access the National Pupil Database. The database is used by a range of organisations including universities, other government departments, and some private sector companies who have a variety of different needs.
Process: The user research was part of a Discovery which included exploring a new way of providing the service. We divided the research into three streams of work: end users, policy makers, technology providers. We conducted one-to-one interviews with users and collated the research into themes, personas, and user stories.
Result: The research enabled us to explore a new end to end user journey and move into a design sprint. Richard Machen, Product Owner at DfE said, “Your structured, professional and methodical approach to user research, coupled with your collaborative and agile ways of working, has left us in a much better position to create a service that meets the needs of our users.”
Still not made your mind up about us? Our model is a big part of what makes us different.
Our principles guide more than just what we work on, it guides the people and the culture here at Paper.
How we work with clients is super important to us.
Steve says, - “Paper really acted as an extension of our small project team. Through working closely together they’ve gained great understanding of our product and there’s a real feeling of us working towards a joint goal.
We write about things you might find useful such as what we're working on and the industry we work in.
As it’s customary to introduce yourself when you first arrive/join I want to write a short introduction as the newest member to the Paper team.
We’ve been quiet this past 6 months. Between 1st January and 15th March 2017 we’d written 5 articles about the work we’re doing or thoughts. So far to date we’ve not written anything since September last year.
We’ve recently been usability testing a new digital service for SignHealth, a national charity that works to improve the health and wellbeing of deaf people.
