If it stands for something, it starts with us.
OUR PROCESS
Discovery
We listen first, surfacing what’s real, what’s necessary, and scoping where we can make the most impact.
Scoping
Together, we shape the container: what we’ll do, why it matters, and how we’ll move.
Signing
We align on expectations, roles, and rhythms — then seal our agreement with intention.
Kickoff
We open the space, bring the right folks in, and set our shared direction.
Research
We get curious, digging into systems, stories, and signals that guide what comes next.
Content
We tirelessly craft research-rooted language, structure, and flows that work hard for users and feel good to use.
Embedding
We roll up our sleeves and build alongside your existing teams — flexible, present, and mindful of your rhythms, rituals, and routines.
Documentation
We make the invisible visible, leaving behind tools, decisions, and thinking that lasts, no matter who picks it up and runs next.
Handoff
We wrap with care, setting you up to carry the work forward with clarity and confidence.
How we operate:
Alignment, always
Continuous alignment – across every connected team – is the secret to every successful project. FOZO helps teams by staying connected through every phase, turning complexity into momentum, communication, and confidence.
Collaborative resourcing
We match the right-fit experts based on their experience and enthusiasm for the work. Together, we scope, plan, and execute to the finish.
Human UX networks
We bring together the best UX professionals, handpicking specialists tailored to each client’s unique needs across industries ranging from wellness to sustainability, financial wellbeing to civil engineering.
Embedded partnership
We embed and adapt with product teams that may or may not have in-house support to navigate uncharted territory, moving with confidence, and upholding quality all the way through.
What can we answer for you?
-
We match partners with projects through a mix of intention, alignment, familiarity and bandwidth. We get to know each and every FOZO collaborator as a person, a designer, and a respected expert in their field.
Every engagement starts with listening, understanding the purpose, the people involved, and the problem space. From there, we build a team that’s not just skilled, but genuinely connected to the work, matching specialty, lived experience, and passion.
We don’t believe in plug-and-play, fast food teams that get in and get it done overnight — we believe in resonance. When the right people are in the room, the work is deeper, more human, and more impactful. -
Our project pricing is shaped by intent, scope, and duration.
For established product teams, we often embed 1–2 FOZO partners into your workflow to support research, IA, and content strategy. For nimble teams, we offer shorter, mission-aligned sprints that focus on foundational research and a messaging roadmap.We’re flexible, but intentional — we build lean, senior teams that stay close to the work and support existing team dynamics. If you're building something with purpose, we’d love to talk about how we can partner.
-
Project timelines depend on what we’re building together.
Some partners bring us in for a focused 4–6 week sprint to ground their product in research or shape a content strategy.
Others embed us for longer arcs—3 to 6 months or more—where we grow alongside internal teams and carry the work through delivery.We move at the pace of intention, not urgency. Whether it’s a quick pulse or a deep build, we’re here to make sure the work is thoughtful, human, and built with purpose, never rushed.
-
Because the spirit of UX is at risk.
We’ve watched too many talented, principled practitioners — especially experienced women in design roles — get sidelined, silenced, or burnt out trying to push for what’s right inside systems that reward speed over substance. We believe it’s time to return to UX that advocates. That listens. That knows the difference between efficiency and care.Design today is moving faster than ever — fueled by AI, stripped of nuance, and too often skipping the early moments that define everything that comes after. But every second counts, and the work that happens in the beginning matters more than ever. The questions we ask, the people we center, the choices we make at the start — they shape the entire arc of a product’s impact.
FOZO is a return and a departure. We’re here to make it personal again. To hold space for the work that protects people, especially those most often overlooked. We're grounded in trauma-informed practice and we always build with intent, not assumption.
We’re here for it.
You have a vision. We bring sharp minds, deep care, and the conviction to build it right. From deep research to content strategy to embedded delivery, FOZO assembles seasoned practitioners who lead with purpose.
