Eidyia is a boutique design consultancy. We simplify problems and define digital experiences.
A design strategy should encompass all of the elements that influence a person’s interactions with a system or device. As technology becomes pervasive, these interactions occur at home, at work, and on the go. The experience your customer has with your brand online includes the perceptions and feelings derived from the use of your product at every touchpoint.
We design websites that are simple to use and elegant to work with. Our practical solutions benefit small businesses looking for a digital presence, informational sites with lots of content, and retailers ready for an ecommerce presence. A great website is nothing without visitors. We analyze your company goals and create plans that incorporate your marketing strategies.
Working with companies both large and small, we’ve used a variety of technologies and platforms. We’re experts at working with and implementing both open source and proprietary systems. We work with clients throughout the implementation process, defining feature requirements, specifying functionalities, and integrating different platforms and systems.
We'll work with you to design interfaces, applications, and campaigns that are simple, straightforward, and delightful to use. We break down complex tasks and create interfaces that are intuitive to use and easy to understand.
Eidyia blends art, science, and technology to create usable designs and intuitive experiences. We specialize in turning complex tasks into intuitive user-friendly interfaces.
By combining aesthetics with analytics, we believe that a compelling and functional experience can be designed.
Eidyia is a San Francisco based design consultancy led by Erin Jo Richey. In addition to serving as the principal strategist, Erin oversees all projects and works one-on-one with clients to develop successful designs.

No matter what form your information takes, we'll provide the necessary structural design to intuitively lead your customer through your site. Utilizing content inventories, card sorting, and user feedback, Eidyia will help you define a logical architecture for your product. We'll work with you to create a taxonomy for your information and sitemaps to organize your content.
We believe a good interaction is made great by crafting a holistic experience. We're not just designing a site. We're thinking about the environments and contexts that your users work in. We break down complex problems into approachable questions and simple workflows. Our work is inspired by your business objectives and by our understanding of human needs and behaviors.
Through usability testing and research, Eidyia helps you learn how well your users and your product work together. We shed light on what happens when customers meet your new design. We advocate testing both before and after a redesign takes place. Eidyia will help you set a research plan, run usability testing, and analyze and interpret data.
Marketing is measurable, and design choices can be quantified. With an analytics-driven methodology, Eidyia helps you test, measure, and optimize your campaigns. We establish benchmarks and select the best means for measurement and testing. We're serious about data-informed design, and we like to incorporate analytics and optimization into all of our work.
