We're Snap Out - Snap Out

We’re Snap Out: A user research consultancy powered by design thinking, specialising in emerging technologies and markets and the public sector. We’re on a mission to develop digital products and services that users want through research and evidence.

Snap Out was founded as a digital product studio in 2012 by Dr Aaron Mason. Since then, our team has produced a wide range of products and services. In delivering these projects we have learned a lot about what’s important for producing successful and impactful results. We have seen the power of using design-thinking first-hand and how not using it can be disastrous! In 2018, we decided that we have seen enough projects not hit their potential due to lack of design-thinking and are now proud to have focused our efforts 100% on helping other companies apply design-thinking to their projects.

We design, develop and build web and mobile digital products powered by advanced algorithms. We use discovery and user research, to help you create useful, innovative and personalised digital products and services in new and emerging markets such as AI, AR & VR, blockchain, IoT and robotics. We research public and patient user needs to inform service design and digital product development in the public sector.

Core Values

Collaborate, Listen and Communicate

We make sure that a task is clear before we start it. We communicate clearly with stakeholders and we can’t wait to discuss a problem openly and without politics. We are supportive and respectful of one another and ensure we listen carefully to what people are saying to really understand what it is they want.

Be a Doer

We get stuck in (but ask for help when we get stuck), we just have to see a task through to completion, and are flexible with the demands of a project.

Customer is King/Queen

We match our client’s passion and engagement for their project and deliver the highest level of customer service. This extends to each other in the team. We approach our work with positivity, we don’t condemn their peers, and we are willing to share appreciation for good work. We are focused on keeping ourselves – and our customers – happy.

Stay Curious, Think and Reflect

We work smart and think before we do (but don’t overthink), we simplify tasks by thinking, and can’t wait to share our thoughts with the rest of the team, we ask questions for clarity and curiosity. We have ideas for new projects and building teams for projects, we reflect and make suggestions if we can see solutions or areas for improvement.
