Mobile prototypes are important when a radically new design is being considered, and user testing is required in order to validate the design prior to entering a production development phase. SurgePath Mobile has expertise bridging the gap between the design and development worlds. We have played both roles – the UI engineer on a design/labs team who helps push the limits of the mobile platform, and also the UI developer on the technology team who works closely with the design team in order to maximize the user experience.
