Fjord innovates and pushes the boundaries of service design, helping companies create groundbreaking digital services.

How We’re Different

Clients come to us and stay with us because we have key strengths that differentiate us from other design companies. The four things we hear most often are:

1. We have the deepest skills in mobile and cross-platform design

   They say that no one understands design for mobile devices better than Fjord. They also say that we have the deepest skills in cross-platform design. It’s true that we have super-talented people at Fjord, but part of that must come from being a very experienced bunch. Not too many people can say they’ve been working on mobile and cross platform design projects as much as we have, and the experience is a big asset.

2. Our design work is framed by a solid strategy

   Clients also say they appreciate our ability to understand and contribute at a strategic level. We are able to grasp the business dynamics, technology developments, and consumer trends, and translate them into a strategic framework for developing design solutions. The Fjord framework ensures everyone is clear about the bigger picture.

3. Our design solutions are elegant and simple

   To be honest clients don't use these actual words. Instead they say our solutions are "a real breakthrough" or "easy to understand" or even "just great." Sometimes they just smile. We apply elegance and simplicity to everything we do and we know that clients appreciate it, even if they don't say so.

4. We challenge and surprise our clients

   One more thing we hear from clients is that we surprise them—and nicely so. We’ll challenge the brief with well-informed suggestions and stretch their minds with new possibilities. We innovate and break through,and we do everything thoroughly—for us, it’s about being above expectations.

All of this is great. It means we have the opportunity to work with visionary clients to transform digital technology into really useful, meaningful products and services. Which is why we come to work, too.
