Human-centered Design
“True innovation in development occurs when we design with data and research to elevate voices that have long been ignored.”
– Melinda Gates, Co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
At Buni Banda, we believe that data is more than just numbers—it’s a story waiting to be told. Our Data Analysis & Insights team specializes in unlocking the potential of data, transforming raw information into meaningful insights that empower organizations to make informed decisions.
How we deliver
We take you through the entire journey, from ideation to realization. Here’s how we manage HCD projects:
01/ User Research & Insights
We start by understanding the needs, behaviors, and challenges of the people you’re designing for. Through interviews, observations, and surveys, we gather the deep insights that will guide the rest of the design process.
02/ Prototyping & Product/Service Design
Armed with insights, we move quickly to create prototypes—low-fidelity versions of the final product or service. These prototypes are then tested and refined through constant feedback, ensuring that the final solution is not only innovative but practical and user-approved.
03/ novation Roadmap Development
We work with you to create a clear roadmap that outlines the steps for turning your ideas into reality. This includes planning for future iterations, scaling, and long-term sustainability, ensuring that your project evolves with changing needs and circumstances.
