Where Technology meets Design

Time after time, software teams struggle with one major problem - filling the gap between design and development. Designers often spend months in revising designs due to limited technical knowledge, while developers "design" during coding leading to poor usability and low conversion rates. Designers and developers often lack a common language leading to endless iterations and frustration.

Creating a successful digital product today requires more than just choosing button colors or writing clean code - it's about creating an experience. But finding someone who is able to combine design and development into creative experiences is like looking for a unicorn - until now.

Zuzze is a user-centered design and development studio created by Susanna Nevalainen, a Frontend Engineer and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Designer. Over the past decade, Susanna has built engaging experiences from zero to one in both the Silicon Valley and Europe. With the help of a holistic product development approach, she empathizes with the needs of the business, users, designers, and developers. This allows Susanna to create user experiences that empower users as well as the creation team along the way. See full story
