Client: Sage Bionetworks

Challenge: Sage Bionetworks was creating a new platform for its users and needed a fresh perspective on its usability.

Services provided: User interviews | Prototyping | Usability Testing | Design

Results: With just a few paper sketches, interviews, and vision documents, Pixel Theory worked with Sage Bionetworks to design the workflow and interface for its key platform for curating and hosting datasets. Rapid progress was possible with an html-based prototype, simple usability tests, and user feedback.

Client quote: I worked with Marita to design a web interface for a scientific data analysis and collaboration product. She took the project from initial conceptual design and refined it through a series of wireframe mockups and then full HTML prototypes to produce a fabulous design for my site. All along the way she kept circling back to our target users and did a great job understanding their use cases and requirements, and soliciting feedback on the design. She was a great person to work with and I will definitely continue to go back to her in the future.
