Product design, research and responsible innovation

Douyon Signature is a design and responsible-innovation consultancy led by Nancy Douyon. We work with organizations on product design, global UX research and the human consequences of technology, including AI.

The work connects what people need with what products say, show and do. It brings hands-on design, research and thoughtful questions about potential harm into decisions teams can act on.
