Ready to get unstuck? Let’s Korero
Good to meet you,
I’m Alex.
As a certified Design Sprint coach, award-winning UX designer and founder of Korero Studio, I support and guide private and public sector organisations to explore, test and launch new business models.
I’ve worked for companies big and small, corporates and social enterprises, embedded in teams and as a strategic consultant. I've led teams and launched my own ventures.
Throughout these different experiences, I noticed one aspect of business that was more toxic to innovation than lack of budget and time could ever be: unstructured meetings & possibility paralysis.
Being an active member of the creative and tech scene in Scotland and beyond, I saw an opportunity to bring my network and design methods together to offer my clients the talent, structure and momentum needed to bring great ideas to life.
Originally from Switzerland - watch out for some eye watering time-keeping, a love of geometry and military-grade stationary.
Hey folks,
I’m Andy
Korero’s Director of Innovation.
I’ve been creating digital experiences for over 20 years and I’m a certified design sprint coach who’s focused on helping organisations work out what’s next.
I’ve led design teams at small startups and large organisations, and I’ve helped some of the biggest companies in the UX – including Sony, The Scottish Government Royal Mail, Commonwealth Games, ScotRail and IRN-BRU – to create great experiences for their customers.
I also run a regular breakfast event ‘5 Things’, where invited speakers share their key takeaways from their favourite non-fiction books.
The Principles That Keep Us Right
The secret to getting ahead is getting started
Nothing sinks momentum and team morale like another unstructured meeting. We believe in learning by doing, on showing instead of telling and in getting it wrong first so we can get it right when it matters.
If it's not fun it's not sustainable
We do serious work but don’t take ourselves too seriously because when we do we close ourselves off to opportunity. Creating a working environment that feels safe and is attentive to everyone’s needs is what truly enables all voices to be heard and creativity to flow.
We ask hard questions to get to great answers
We believe in getting to the root of the issue by asking the deeper, harder questions - before we get anywhere near discussing solutions. We will champion and challenge our collaborators because that's when the magic happens.
None of us is as smart as all of us
We use tried and tested techniques to get everyone's input and check our egos at the door. We stay sharp by bringing the best creative and strategic minds to the challenge at hand.
Discover a nimbler*, smarter** and more gratifying*** way to work.
*We value your time and ours so we cut the admin fat, keep the team lean and deliver in a number of days what would take months in a traditional agency
**Unless you have time, money and reputation to burn "build it and they will come" is not smart. We create experiments that de-risk big bets and go from idea to data - fast.
*** Discover what you and your team can achieve when egos, busy work and distractions are taken out of the equation. We provide the structure, inspiration and cadence that will allow you to get more done and have more fun.
