Digital Gov. User Research
We support UK Government strategy in the design of inclusive digital technology to deliver improved access to online public services. Together with partner organisations and subject matter experts, we’re helping Gov.UK develop the secure and resilient services that are an essential part of a modern digital economy.
Digital Arts and Humanities
Our strategic partnerships with leading Universities, historians and educators, support the study, preservation and promotion of literature, history, art, and music. Our multidisciplinary approach to Award-winning digital humanities projects helped to secure Nottingham’s UNESCO status as a City of Literature, and have kick-started the careers of many students involved in these projects.
Design for Web, Mobile, Print
With support from Arts Council England, National Heritage Fund, and other sponsors, we have built a substantial portfolio of sustainable digital platforms that continue to engage users. Award-winning webcomics, and heritage projects form the basis of our popular WordPress web designs and print publications. Whilst our latest mobile platform explores the themes and spaces around us, through the medium of digital trails.
Digital Outreach
Our digital outreach workshops are designed to nurture skills transfer and social enterprise in former-industrial heartlands. Celebrating local history and contemporary culture through web, mobile and print helps to connect people with the stories and events that shape their community. These activities are supported by our not-for-profit, community interest company – Mine2Minds Education.
Enterprise Service Design
Experience in financial and governance-led platforms informs our design principles. We consider all aspects of the end-to-end service to ensure that the experience for users is simple and effective. Our design methodology reduces operating costs and maximises value for businesses, organisations and end-users.
Training and Support
A strong learning culture is at the centre of everything we do. Our design-thinking workshops empower businesses, students, and organisations with the freedom and knowhow to communicate effectively in the digital space. Combined with hosting and ongoing support, Thinkamigo ensure that your ideas remain available and future proof.
