11. With a client list that ranges from Kate Moss to Kim
Kardashian, Pat McGrath has been called the most
influential make-up artist in the world by Vogue
magazine and other commentators.
Pat McGrath wanted to set up an online storefront to
test and launch her own makeup line. The request for
the website was unique as it needed to accommodate
traffic surges from 25 users per minute to 25,000 users
per minute, during a flash sale.
In addition, the Pat McGrath Labs design team
presented HubSpire with several design challenges.
HubSpire designed the server set-up and developed a
website and CMS to facilitate easy updates during the
sale. The first sale lasted under 55 minutes and over
$150k worth of merchandise was sold.
The site has resulted in several partnerships and
Sephora.

15. Before we dive into building the next great product, it is essential that we have a clear path towards success. To reach this point, our creative
process begins with an initial kick off phase to establish a clear definition of the problem we are trying to solve, the target audience we are
solving for, and the business objectives we are serving. This typically consists of brand, user, and competitive research and culminates as a
series of user stories and a proposed hypothesis toward a solution.
Next we move into a period of design thinking where we brainstorm, prototype, and iterate on our original hypothesis. The goal of our
brainstorming sessions is to generate insights and potential solutions to the challenge at hand. Exploring as many ideas towards solving each
challenge is key regardless of how realistic, feasible, or viable each solution might be within the given constraints.
We build these prototypes very quickly, so they are rough and not always elegant, but they work to validate an idea. A prototype can be a
drawing, model, website, or even a stripped down app. The goal is not to create a close approximation of the finished product or process, but
rather to elicit user feedback that helps us work through the given challenge and validate that idea as an appropriate solution.
When we rapidly prototype, we are actually beginning to build the strategy itself. Doing this very early in the innovation cycle enables us to
unlock our company’s most valuable assets, the voice of the user! When you put these prototypes in front of potential users, you get an intuitive
feel for whether you are headed in the right direction. It becomes enlightened trial and error.
We move onto the visual design phase once we have a refined prototype that we confidently believe satisfies user and business goals and we
want to push it to market. With the user in mind, we create mood boards using graphical elements such as typography, color palettes, imagery,
and patterns to shape the feel, tone and visual language of the product. With the mood in place, we bring the previous stage's prototypes to
polished fruition in a similar iterative process that emphasizes continuous sharing and feedback.
Regardless of the platform we are building for, we execute based on a lean strategy and set of goals that are defined early on in the process.
This technique enables us to anticipate the needs of the user as much as possible from the onset, build an MVP to test our initial hypotheses,
and optimize against on-going research until the product successfully meets the needs of and exceeds the desires of the end user. This
philosophy affords us a more flexible workflow that can react quickly to new user insights and mitigates the risk of creating a product that does
not appeal to the desired user base. At the end of the day, we believe it is more important to provide real value over simple deliverables, and this
approach helps us execute on that belief.
