Our consultants have advanced degrees in behavioral sciences, human factors, and human-computer interaction. We are a dynamic organization with a team approach to projects and all senior staff members (including directors) are heavily involved in the details of projects. Project lead and team member continuity ensures effective knowledge transfer across related projects for the same client. User Centric's resources include the largest dedicated usability testing studio and most portable labs of any North American consulting firm.

User Centric's headquarters are in Chicago, IL with offices in Beijing. Members of User Centric's team have fluency in French, German, Polish, Spanish (business fluency) and Mandarin. We apply our expertise to global projects involving handhelds, Web sites, software, medical devices, print, packaging, and telephony services. Our consulting services include usability testing, eye tracking, expert evaluations, remote user testing, user-centered design, and online surveys.

Product excellence and customer loyalty through usability

Experience, quality, value, global reach and outstanding client services set us apart.
