From creative concepting to competitive analysis to usability studies, research is an integral part of creating successful design solutions. Here are a few samples the of research phases in my design work.
In 2008 dsrstudio was subcontracted by another design agency with helping to perform a usability analysis for a specific Plantronics headset that was having issues with users. After spending several hours analyzing the installation process and subsequent usability of 3 separate headsets and their corresponding system drivers in Windows, I assisted in the final review that helped to illuminate the specific issues and pointed to clear recommendations to solve the problems.
