The team at Thunk are amazing creative thinkers who dive into a project and make it their own. You will not be able to keep with all their valuable ideas. They are focused on the brand, audience, technology, marketing, business, and the client. Thunk's work is always on time or ahead of schedule, always of excellent quality. James and his team think through possibilities and contingencies and never stop thinking of the user experience.
Brent Britton
Managing Partner & TEDx Speaker
James and the team at Thunk together with my web programming team worked together on a large-scale web design project. He was easily the most creative of all creative directors I have ever worked with. He and his team of designers were simply brilliant, and really knew how to express the brand in a way that made the client's web site look incredible!

Competitors can be inspiring and can give insight along with your ideas that are given to the user to bang on so you can see if it's ready for prime time before going too far.

Wireframes, flowcharts, customer journeys, and clickable prototypes are needed to communicate the requirements both internally and externally to core users to validate any assumptions.
