design-people is a design consultancy with special focus on interaction design.
In a world where products and people are connected and online, technology can offer a multitude of functional options and benefits to the users. The digital revolution offers vast opportunities but certainly also user experience pitfalls, when products become too complex. That makes interaction design and the ability to interpret user preferences a strategic competency for most enterprises.
Our focus on user interaction makes us specialists in our field – our recipe is to combine interaction expert knowledge with user insight and design skills. Instead of practicing design as a solely aesthetic discipline we have a holistic and dynamic approach on the user experience – letting form follow user interaction.
By using us as your development partner you benefit from our research based interaction know how and our broad hands-on design experience. We work with some of the most challenging projects in our field for leading international clients.

Scandinavian international design
Why use an Aarhus based design team for design assignments with an international perspective?
Scandinavia has a strong tradition of refined craftsmanship, innovative architecture and design. The pleasure of surrounding one-self with aesthetic and well crafted designs is not an exclusive phenomenon. You will find that pleasure expressed in people’s homes as well as public spaces and company facilities. A low social hierarchy and a tradition of social engagement and co-operation have fostered a user-driven design approach even before that became a master trend. Being small countries in a large world, Scandinavian societies have a long tradition of international outlook, trade and cooperation.
This cocktail of passion for good design, a user-driven design approach and an international way of thinking also qualifies design-people to be your partner for design assignments with global perspective.
Our design team brings together people with different national backgrounds, we cooperate with international clients and business partners on a daily basis, and we conduct user research in many different countries.
