Design the system behind the experience, not just the screens.
Good customer experience is rarely a single interface. It's the sum of how sales, service, delivery, and operations hand work to each other, and how well the tools behind them support the people doing it.
We treat employee experience as part of the same system: when the internal experience is broken, customers feel it. Much of this work is for growing companies whose tools grew faster than the connections between them.

Where experience breaks down.
The symptoms look different in every organization. The pattern underneath is usually the same.
Customers feel the handoffs
Customers experience your organization as one thing. When sales, service, and delivery run on separate tools and assumptions, they're the ones who notice the gaps first.
Employees fill the gaps
Workarounds, side spreadsheets, and tribal knowledge keep things moving, and hide how much effort the system is costing your people.
Transformation replaces tools, not workflows
New platforms get implemented around the old process. The technology changes; the experience doesn't.
Research that never becomes decisions
Surveys, interviews, and feedback pile up in decks. Without synthesis and a clear roadmap, insight doesn't turn into change.
Listen. Map. Plan.
Listen
ResearchInterviews and observation with customers, employees, and stakeholders, plus a review of the research and data you already have. AI helps us synthesize faster; the listening and interpretation stay human.

Journeys & blueprintsJourney maps show the experience from the customer's or employee's side. Service blueprints connect it to the teams, tools, and data behind it, so you can see where the experience breaks and why.

RoadmapA prioritized CX and transformation roadmap: what to fix first, what to redesign, and what the next platform or process decision needs to account for. When a plan calls for build, we bring in trusted partners.

Enterprise CX methods, without an enterprise-sized team.
Lucas's background includes UX design for enterprise digital transformation at Boston Consulting Group and UX design leadership for Fortune 500 transformations at IBM iX. Fennec brings those methods to organizations that need them without an enterprise-sized team.
Research first
We don't start with screens or software. We start with the people who live the experience every day.
Customer and employee experience together
Internal experience drives external experience. We map both, so a fix on one side doesn't break the other.
Strategy and design, with partners for build
We lead the research, service design, and roadmap. We don't position ourselves as a systems integrator; when a program needs engineering or platform work, we bring in trusted partners and stay accountable for the design.
Where to start.
CX work usually begins with one of these; larger programs are scoped as project-based engagements.
Operations & Systems Map
Your tools each do their job. The work between them is where things break. We talk with the people doing the work, map how tasks and information actually move across your teams and systems, and deliver a prioritized plan for what to fix first, before you buy, hire, or migrate anything.
Details on Operations & Systems MapResearch-to-Roadmap Package
From scattered signals to a product direction you can defend. We take your raw research — transcripts, surveys, existing data — through AI-assisted synthesis and deliver a prioritized roadmap brief that product and engineering can act on immediately.

You have the interviews. You just don't have the synthesis. We ingest your existing research and documentation into our AI workflow, code themes, and deliver production-ready journey maps, service blueprints, and a synthesis report — in days, not months. Every theme is reviewed and interpreted by a senior researcher before it reaches you.
