People Over Pixels

Everything we create is for People (users, patients, and stakeholders). We work to build empathy with them in order to deliver elegant solutions that seamlessly integrate into their daily lives and help them achieve their goals.

Less, But Better

We strive to create solutions that are simple and easy-to-use while focusing on the “small” details to ensure we’re creating magical experience people remember.

Don’t Reinvent The Wheel

We create innovative solutions leveraging best practices and standard design patterns. Helping to ensure things work in a manor users expect, without forcing them to relearn common functionality.

Unified, Modular Systems

Every component, feature, and solution we design is part of a greater whole. The pieces should come together to contribute positively to delivering a better experience for our users.

Evolving Over Finalized

We understand shipping is the beginning, not the end. We work backwards from a vision, slicing solutions into pieces that allow us to iteratively deliver and continuously learn how to make them better.

Global By Design

Olympus is used by people all over the world. Our solutions should be build with a design language that is inviting, accessible, and universal for all.
