We are a UX design agency based in the UK. Over the course of almost a decade we have supported our clients in creating digital products that people value. Every time we have tailored the design process to fit the mix of opportunities and constraints they were faced with. We have worked in both private and public sector engagements, with established brands and startups. This extensive experience enables us to offer a deeper level of support. The clarity and focus we bring to UX design comes from a team of senior designers with specialized roles, spanning from highly complex user research to straightforward digital design. This expertise is applied for mobile apps (iOS, Android + others), the web and native applications (macOS, embedded, devices).

Creative Navy Executive Interview
At Creative Navy, we practice evidence-based UX/UI design – part of our team is formed of people with backgrounds in cognitive science and ergonomics. My role is to create the right habitat for these highly skilled designers to be able to deliver for our customers. This is not always easy, because the challenges our customers bring to us are unique in every case, but it is great to be able to rely on people who have dealt with the impossible many times before.
We noticed early on that the design practices and methods that work in advertising or commercial design, do not apply to design interactions in applications or software. The focus here is on ergonomics, not on persuasion. This designed has a tradition in modernism and in the deliberate pursuit of making things more useful. This is where cognitive science comes in, because most of what we know about how people think and expect to interact with an object, be it physical or abstract, comes from a rich tradition of research.
So, the idea of Creative Navy was to apply the concept of ergonomics design to the digital industry, to create more useful and enjoyable digital applications.
This type of synergy can only come from a substantial commitment that manifests by everyone being in-house. Forming this type of bond with an outsourcing partner is close to impossible because it takes a long time to, and usually, businesses don't have such overlapping long term goals. When we work as a close-knit team, the human element makes us more aligned and attentive to each other's needs.
With Creative Navy, customers get a highly focused team of senior designers who have been together on many challenging projects. Thus, we can deliver better solutions faster, and most customers report that they genuinely feel an uplift in their product development cycle, even when the project is complicated, or all the technical limitations appear impossible to overcome.
- The people who use the application with their roles, cognitive abilities, goals, purposes, and expectations;
- The context the system is being used is essential in many projects, especially when it comes to UX design for embedded systems that are not a regular web or mobile app;
- The business goals of our customer – this does include not only the notion of monetization but also operational capabilities to support individual customer experiences, strategic milestones in the development of their digital product, timelines and so on;
- The tasks that users have to perform are a factor in and of itself because the UX/UI layer of a digital product is a place where the needs of different stakeholders converge and what people do in the digital environment is a sort of mediation between those needs;
- The technical constraints are sometimes vital because we work on many projects that are cutting edge and push the boundary of what is technically feasible.
At Creative Navy, we have to be mindful of all these factors when creating the UX/UI design for a digital product.
This process of making the complicated simple requires large amounts of effort, including research, exploring alternatives, testing and defining conceptual aspects of the digital product. This is what determines the cost of a UX/UI design project at Creative Navy.
We work with large corporations or state entities, but we also work with one-person startups quite regularly. One of the fun aspects of what we do is that we get a chance to meet people who are smart and come up with ideas that no corporations could have ever invented.
