What we do
Bassan is a highly-skilled, highly-experienced team of professionals specializing in user experience. We build vast custom digital maps, bringing a sense of adventure to every challenge.
Why Bassan?
Our name is inspired by that of a graceful, sharp-eyed seabird—the bassan (gannet in English). Bassans are outstanding flyers. Gliding high above the sea with eyes fixed on a target, their every move is calm, precise, instinctive. Then they swoop…
Like the bassan, our mission is to survey and dominate a vast territory (digital in this case), never losing sight of the goal, ready to zero-in on high-quality targeted solutions.
Building on over a decade of experience, driven by a timeless instinct
Founded a decade ago, Bassan offers a wide range of UX services, including research, user-centred design, knowledge transfer and support, as well as assessments of the user-friendliness and efficiency of interactive solutions.
Our goal is to build bridges between the needs of organizations and those of their target audiences through clever, intuitive interaction systems. We achieve this by providing our clients with a wide range of UX solutions of the highest quality.
Our quest for the best continues to guide us every step of the way.
A team of experts with an approach that is always focused on collaboration.
Every project we undertake is undertaken together, from start to finish.
