We‘re all attracted to certain products and brands. But it can be hard to understand why. It’s because of how we perceive their meaning.
Our unique Meaning Centred Design™ process identifies the cultural references, individual needs and motivations that influence our perceptions - the way we think and the impulses we act on.
Recipe has the tools to decode these complex perceptions, identifying rich seams of opportunity upon which we can confidently act to deliver design solutions that truly resonate and endure.
Why meaning?
Great design doesn’t just solve practical and technical challenges, it taps into our sense of meaning; what makes us feel good, who we want to be, and the choices we make in everyday life.
Meaning is anchored in the values we hold and the cultures we live in. It guides our thoughts and feelings, motivates our actions, and underpins everything we do.
Some of these factors are obvious. Some are more subtle and often hidden. Yet they all combine to influence how we feel, and shape the impulses that drive us to look, act, buy, use and click.
Our Meaning Centred Design™ process decodes how people perceive brands and experiences, unlocking valuable insight, identifying rich seams of opportunity, and informing design solutions that focus on what matters to people to achieve commercial success and longevity.
