Designing the Next
Iconstorm is the leading German Strategic Design Agency. Based in Frankfurt am Main, we have supported clients in implementing ambitious innovation projects and anchoring design methods and mindset in their processes since 2004. The focus is on meaningful innovation that brings together technology, people, business and sustainability. Our team has expertise in all areas of design and also includes experienced consultants and coaches as well as an in-house development unit for digital products.
Strategic Design makes companies more innovative on multiple levels: in terms of products and services, collaboration and processes as well as sustainable business models.
We have prepared a Miro board with instructions plus canvasses for a Strategic Design sprint. Just download the canvasses there and test them with your team in an ongoing project.
We support clients in the following areas:
We optimize existing products and services. Our team is at your disposal for conceptual design and implementation.
In a joint project, we create something different: Meaningful Innovation that enables your company to take the next leap.
Run a project with us to systematically integrate design into your innovation strategy. Can be done ad hoc and in already running projects as well.

Introducing a design system is worthwhile if you want to ensure a consistent user experience on numerous different channels. Design systems enable new processes between your designers and developers and eliminate errors and redundancies. This reduces the effort required to ensure consistency and frees up resources for the actual improvement of your product.
Making innovation a strategic part of corporate development is a major task and requires the appropriate organizational structure. Our Strategic Design Sprint helps you to create a culture in which knowledge and information can circulate freely and people-centered work patterns enable strong networking between all departments.
We design long-term sustainable business models from a holistic value-first perspective. Our Strategic Design framework provides the basis for developing Meaningful Innovation in a co-creative process to bring together business and human context with environmental needs and technological requirements. Towards this end, we combine business design with other areas of expertise.
We support your usability management with the methods of Human-Centered Design. This includes the planning of measures, methods and evaluation, their implementation, the selection of suitable partners and, if required, coaching for your employees. Good usability of products is a central component of a positive user experience and ensures safety, accessibility and sustainable use.
With design methods, we can add another perspective to your research and development processes. Design offers a user-oriented approach that not only solves problems “hands-on”, but also identifies previously undiscovered opportunities. Not only do we support corporate clients, but we also enjoy and frequently participate in public business development projects.
