At Amplified, design is a way of thinking. We are a multidisciplinary team of strategists, designers, artists, ethnographers, psychologists and technologists united by a passion for creating great experiences. We believe we cannot design experiences that others love if we don't love making them.
Experience designers at Amplified envision and create the visible framework of the product or service experience. They are passionate about using their craft to transform the way people live and engage with the world. A human-centered approach to problem-solving informs their work but they are not afraid to trust a vision and intuition to drive design. They are quick to reconcile business requirements with user needs today but are just as mindful about what tomorrow might bring. Creative exploration, constrained or not, comes naturally to them and their designs always have a purpose.
