What we do
End-to-end digital experiences
We start by understanding your customers. We then use those insights to build a working prototype, which leads to an MVP build that is constantly evolving.
Research
Strategy and discovery
We use targeted research to understand what to build and why. The Highland team is a national leader in using Jobs to be Done research to shape digital strategy, especially in long, complex customer journeys.
Design
Product and service design
We bring digital products and experiences to life using rapid prototyping and validation techniques. We'll bring your idea all the way through to sophisticated UX/UI designs and design systems.
Build
Custom software and technology
From technical architecture to a new product launch, we form small, multi-disciplinary teams to develop web applications, mobile applications, multi-tenant platforms, and revenue-generating digital products.
“We wouldn’t be achieving our business goals without Highland. Everyone on their team was very clear on what we set out to do. We worked with an incredibly high-caliber group.”
Director of Membership, Thrivent Financial
“Their work was very well-received. A number of doctors commented that the journey map helped them validate what they had thought but were never able to put down. Highland went above and beyond in terms of getting an in-depth understanding of our material in a way that other firms don’t.”
Executive Director of Digital Health, Children's Wisconsin
