Working at MAYA Design

Later this month, I’ll be attending a gathering for my grandmother’s 100th birthday. I’m excited to see my grandmother again, and celebrate her 100th birthday with her. But as always there will be some challenges, like explaining to people what I do for work.

There will be a lot of relatives and other people who I haven’t seen as an adult. How might I go about explaining what I do everyday? This question got me thinking about some videos we recently put together for work describing what we do everyday and the underlying principles behind why we do what we do.

These three videos highlight two of our founders and our current CEO. I did all to video/audio recording, interviews and initial editing, and Matt Ross did the post processing. These three short videos (about 2 minutes each) give you a glimpse into what we do and how we think at MAYA Design.

Human-Centered Design:

Making your product or service easier to use is a proven way to enhance your brand, reduce training and support costs, and increase sales – leapfrogging the competition in the process. But to achieve ease of use, you need to forget technology for a while and get inside the heads of users.

Research Practice

DARPA invented the Internet over twenty years ago by fostering deep research into the future of information. We helped them invent a system they’ve called one of their biggest success stories in the last ten years. Find out how our Research Practice can help you build something big tomorrow.

Pervasive Computing

Pervasive computing will change our world, but only if it can break free of the lab and increase your company’s revenues. At MAYA, we don’t focus on geeky stunts and parlor tricks. We work with you to fundamentally change the game.
