A different kind of design firm.
The key to Sprout's success, and often our competitive advantage, is a fundamental belief that the user is at the center of the universe. Effective interaction design for the Web enables users (customers) to quickly and intuitively find what they are looking for to meet a need or solve their problems. We recognize that behind the technology, tools, clever design, and mass of information, there is a human trying to buy that perfect pair of shoes, increase their knowledge of molecular biology, educate their child about American history, or manage that complex retirement portfolio. We build systems that truly empower users.

A belief that size matters.
Sprout is a boutique firm with a carefully selected list of clients and projects. Though our work crosses multiple industries and client types, we have had the good fortune to work with organizations what are top of their individual classes. This keeps our ideas fresh and allows us to apply lessons learned across industries. Sprout is chosen by clients confident in the mass of expertise under our roof, the solidity of our portfolio, but mainly because we possess an edge and passion that pushes our clients to the next level in their category. Obviously, there are larger firms who can provide you with a “solution”, but if you are a client or business interested in a partnership that will drive measurable business results, Sprout may be the firm for you.

It's about the users, not designers.
Our capabilities as User Experience Designers position us uniquely to deliver an experience that supports the needs of your users as well as deliver the message inherent in your organization's brand. We don't rely on gut intuition or the whim of our design team; we research, measure, and make decisions based on real data. Whether we are delivering a simple marketing internet site or a complex transactional software application, our focus is on our customer's customer.

We want you to understand how we do it, and why.
We hate acronyms, branded design processes, and complexity that yields nothing but a larger bill rate. We have a streamlined and well-documented process that has yielded over 150 successful client engagements. We have the expectation of transparency in everything we do. We start every project with a plan containing all of our milestones. We strive for efficient meetings with only the necessary resources present on both sides. We seek to understand your business and provide simple, effective solutions to meet the needs of your users.
