Great experiences come from design, not chance

Good UX design improves business performance. Simple.

Design thinking, UX, innovation sprints, agile, there are so many practices and approaches being hailed as business or product saving. We are Baguette UX, founded in 2012. We centre our practice of building apps, websites and digital products on user experience design, because we know that if the product is well designed, then business follows: more enquiries, more sales, fewer support queries, simpler business processes, less “figuring out what works”, fewer costs, less confusion. It takes design to make it that simple. As Facebook, Google, Amazon, Uber and others have figured it out - it’s not all engineering.

We are a UX design studio and consultancy. We help create products and services that truly fit market and business needs, are brought out efficiently and cost-effectively and we help the business understand UX along the way. We thrive on getting individuals and teams to reach peak design performance and value, especially when competition rises up, customers demand better and the business needs break-through success. In 2021, we expanded our expertise to the provide support for software as a medical device (SaMD) and software related medical devices (SrMD) and our designer is certified from the Johner Institute. We can now help you with the human factors and usability engineering aspects of your development and certification.

Wherever you are based, we can help you. From remote coaching to in-person collaboration, we have worked with teams from Australia to Brazil to China and all the way to Zürich. In a 24/7 world where distributed teams are the norm, we help bring insights that help the entire organisation, bridge distance and facilitate collaboration. We have been successfully working remotely with various cultures and across timezones since 2015. We have partners all over the world, starting with Ezenka, a user research consultancy who also provide training courses and open classes.
