Passage is a software and product design studio that designs, crafts and ships products that people love to use.
Though every project is unique, each one typically progresses through several phases of work. Within each phase, we’re able to tailor our output to meet your specific needs.
Learn
Qualitative Customer and User Research, Strategy, Synthesis, Roadmaps, Customer Journeys
Make
Concepts, Architecture, Flows, Wireframes, Visual Design, Animation and Prototypes
Prototype + Test
Low fidelity, high fidelity, Alpha and Beta builds for testing and deployment. We have real people use the product, learn and make it better.
Build + Ship
We can move quickly from idea to reality. Our full-stack development sister company, Presence, can deploy any software product we design.
