    Our Story

    Founded in 1995, zu is driven by a simple belief: design with users, not for them. We combine human-centred design, technical craftsmanship, and small cross-functional teams to reduce risk and build digital products people actually use. Fiercely independent and proud of our craft, we value collaboration, growth, and long-term partnerships that turn complex challenges into meaningful outcomes.

    What Sets Us Apart

    1. We design with users, not for them

    Human-centred design is built into how we work. By involving users early and often, we reduce risk, improve adoption, and ensure the right solution gets built the first time.

    2. Small teams. Big accountability.

    We work in small, cross-functional teams without bureaucratic drag. That means faster decisions, clearer ownership, and consistent delivery—every project, every time.

    3. Proven delivery, low-fear engagement

    With a 100% delivery track record and a “start small” approach, we take the fear out of digital projects. Clients get clarity, momentum, and confidence from day one.

    Commonly Asked Questions

    Success means building something people actually use and value. We look at adoption, usability, and whether the solution makes work easier, faster, or more effective for real users. If it ships on time, stays on track, and delivers lasting value for both users and the business, we’ve done our job.

    Yes. We design and build solutions with privacy, security, and regulatory requirements in mind. We work closely with clients and their legal, security, and compliance teams to ensure solutions align with applicable standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, and industry-specific regulations. Compliance is built into the process—not bolted on at the end.

    We work as an extension of our clients’ teams. Success starts with shared understanding, open communication, and involving the right people early—especially users. Through workshops, rapid prototyping, and regular check-ins, we collaborate closely, adapt quickly, and make decisions together. Clear goals, transparency, and trust keep projects moving forward without surprises.

    We intentionally keep a small client base. This allows our teams to stay focused, responsive, and deeply invested in each partnership. Rather than spreading ourselves thin, we choose engagements where we can deliver real value and build long-term relationships.

    Our process is lightweight, collaborative, and built to adapt. We start by aligning on goals and users, then move quickly into prototyping, building, and testing. Work is planned in short cycles with clear priorities, regular check-ins, and shared visibility. This keeps projects moving forward, reduces risk, and avoids surprises—while staying flexible as things evolve.
