Some of our innovators
SRI Design
We place people at the center of innovation to create better experiences and relationships between people and the technology they depend on. Our user-centered approach helps you uncover opportunities far beyond technology development.
Symbiotic design
Our structured approach to designing human-machine interactions creates more satisfying, intuitive experiences between humans and technology.
Design-thinking methodologies
Our processes and methodologies help solve difficult technical problems while developing solutions that are easy for people to use.
Visual design and interaction (UXUI)
Our user-centered design is grounded in how people actually behave to ensure your products are usable, consumable and desirable.
SRI is one of the precious few organizations with deep expertise in innovation strategy and policy. While it’s increasingly relevant, this interdisciplinary field is still quite small. It’s a pleasure to work with colleagues who have the same baseline understanding that innovation is as much a social phenomenon as a technological one, shaping our tools to share meaning and to explore and build.
