Common Agency

Common was founded in 2005 by Ben Childs, formerly Head of Multimedia Design at Orange UK.  Common focus on creating excellence in user experience, regardless of platform, technology, interface or product.

Their user-centered approach produces intelligent solutions delivered by experienced professionals. Common believes strongly in user centered design, which means that in addition to their clients goals they consider the user at every step of the process.  This is very different to the technology-centered approach of “let‟s add xyz feature because it would look cool”.

They use an iterative design process, managed using online project management tools, ensuring outputs are easily shared and reviewed with clients at all stages.
