We are nordic.

Digital product strategy for teams building things people depend on.

We are a boutique digital product consultancy based in Zurich, Switzerland. For over a decade, we've helped businesses make better decisions about complex digital products, grounded in hands-on UX work, not just strategy from a slide deck. Increasingly, that includes healthtech and medtech, where usability decisions carry real consequences and patient needs come first. We achieve this by gathering insights about your customers' needs and designing customized solutions that meet their goals and expectations.

We become part of your team

We work embedded in your team, not from a distance. That means being part of the conversations where problems get identified and decisions get made, alongside your engineers, product managers, and other stakeholders, not just handed a brief to execute. We stay involved past the point most consultancies step back, through implementation, to make sure decisions made on paper hold up in practice.

We get to know your users

We don't assume we already have the answers. To understand your customers, and where relevant your patients, we frequently conduct user tests, validate ideas and designs, and provide the best solutions for them.

In healthtech and medtech, that means patient needs come first, and findings need to hold up to more than opinion.

We question the obvious

We ask the right questions before we build anything, testing assumptions early so decisions hold up under real behavior and business pressure, not opinion. We design using systems that are familiar to your users and easy for your developers to maintain.

Packages

UX Expert Review

We evaluate your website, app, or service from a user perspective and identify usability issues. Our experts assess navigation, information architecture, and user flows against UX best practices. You'll receive a detailed report with strengths, weaknesses, and improvement opportunities, plus severity ratings to help prioritize fixes.

What you get

Report with prioritized recommendations and practical solutions.

Usability Test

We observe real users as they interact with your product to uncover hidden friction and behavioural patterns that surveys and analytics cannot reveal. A trained facilitator guides participants through realistic task scenarios, capturing where they hesitate, struggle, or succeed. The insights go beyond opinions, they show exactly how your interface is experienced in practice.

What you get

Session recordings, a report of key findings with severity ratings, and concrete recommendations to resolve identified usability issues.

Accessibility Check

We conduct a thorough accessibility audit against WCAG standards. Our evaluation covers contrast ratios, color usage, font sizes, keyboard navigation, and screen reader testing. This ensures your offering meets legal requirements and is accessible to all users, including the approximately 1.8 million people in Switzerland living with disabilities.

What you get

Detailed report with prioritized remediation measures and quick-win solutions
