Nodes
UX advisor Strategic advisor Designer Developer
Nodes UX advisor focuses on the interaction between IT and the user, and will be responsible of facilitating the workshop as well as challenge the concept from a user perspective.
Nodes strategic advisors are specialists within mobile strategy and business models, and will contribute with knowledge about business cases, KPI’s, roadmap and ROI. At Nodes we focus on designing success and therefore it is of great importance for us to challenge the concept from a business perspective.
Nodes designer contributes to the creative process of visualising the concept and making the prototype. Nodes designer will use the CVI of the company, and the guidelines of the different platforms to make a design that is intuitive for the user, and simpler to build for our developers.
A developer from Nodes will participate ad hoc when deemed necessary to answer questions about technical possibilities and development costs. This ensures that we don’t come up with a concept that is either impossible to make due to technical or budget obstacles.
