How Elephants Can Dance Approaches Ethnography

At Elephants Can Dance, we believe that ethnography is a critical component of the UX/UI design process. Our approach involves observing users, gathering data through various methods such as interviews, surveys, and task-based testing, and analysing the results to gain key insights.

We work closely with our clients to understand their specific research goals and questions and tailor our approach accordingly. Our ethnographic studies provide valuable information that informs our design decisions and helps us create solutions that meet the needs and expectations of users.

Ethnography is a powerful tool for understanding user behaviour and creating effective UX/UI design solutions. At Elephants Can Dance, we are committed to using ethnography to inform our design decisions and create designs that are functional, human-centred, and meet the needs of users. Let's work together to create designs that make a difference!
