About
Welcome to TinkerKind
We are a small but highly expert UX research and design studio focused on creating inclusive products, services, and experiences. Our work goes beyond accessibility – we design for the full spectrum of human diversity, considering cultural backgrounds, environments, abilities, and personal preferences.
At TinkerKind, we mix anthropology, psychology, and human-computer interaction with both quantitative and qualitative research. This balanced approach helps us create insights that are not just data-driven but also deeply human-centred. We work with businesses and individuals to build solutions that are flexible, inclusive, and truly meet the needs of real users, making sure no one is left behind.
We care about social impact and research and are keen to partner with people working on interesting projects and ideas, as well as academic institutions and independent researchers or creators.
