Estrategas Digitales
(Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Design industry)
May 2008 — Present (1 year 3 months)
Last may I started a new company called Digital Stategists.
Today is urgent to communicate, to all small and medium companies, that design is a core discipline in the innovation process. Designers are strategic and innovative professionals, capable to develop concepts, products and services for all types of firms.
In our Studio we apply a series of methods and information processes, from various disciplines, in order to determine the technologies, products and digital services that are demanded in the different enterprises, considering certain aspects connected with user and the market.
All companies need to get the benefits that Design and Information technologies can provide them in the analysis, development, implementation and communication of solutions and prospective ideas on new concepts (of products, services, environments, messages or systems); extremely necessary to compete successfully in global and local economies. -
