Cooperation
Since many years we have a close cooperation with the German association for usability and user experience professionals “German UPA”. The platform offers a wide portfolio of workshops, webinars, documents and events and offers a network for UX-designers and usability engineers where they can learn new methods and gather know how of latest UX-tools and DIN standards by sharing their expertise. That’s why we are supporting this association as a “Gold-sponsor”.

Social activities
Social responsibility is not just a buzzword for us – it is part of our corporate culture and anchored in our daily work life. That’s why our team supports several public organizations, local companies and startups with it´s design know how. For example, we supported a Kassel based live event club that supports independent music and comedy artists and an organization which is fighting against plastic pollution.
