There is a rise in demand for a more connected user experience design with an added human element. By enhancing customer experience and increasing consumer engagement,enterprises and organisations are empowered to achieve goals faster, with a clear vision and mission critical strategy to grow as well as scale in quick time. Spread Design and Innovation was established in 2015 with a purpose of manifesting design in a new way of thinking and making it entirely virtual.

The set of services the company provides include, Product Strategy, User Research, Usability & Architecture, Interaction Design, Motion & Animations through UI interactions, micrographics/micro interactions, and on boarding videos, UX copy writing, Rapid Prototyping using Sketch, In Vision and XD. As a design catalyst, Spread works with a design, build and spread model, by upping the ante to shape disruptive ideas for governments, the public, and the private sector across geographies.

The company encourages immersing, understanding and creating new opportunities for fresh design strategies. Radical communication methods, roadmaps, campaigns to spread a powerful idea among diverse stakeholders and create a movement, are also included under the umbrella of
services Spread formulates. Spread works along 7 sense parameters to make the organization's strategies and design foundation unshakeable. It begins with human sense that understands aspirations and creates opportunity, then technological sense which make humans more human, cognitive sense that uses data intelligently and develop intuition, aesthetic sense for nourishing the soul with art, beauty, simplicity, and truth, economic sense to make society far richer, natural sense that harness, renew, replenish and nurture natural resources for future generations, and evolutionary sense for a higher state of humanism. "Using the design sense deeply coded in our DNA helps the company bring design to ground zero. Spread deploys design strategy, demonstrates the inclusivity of design and applies it holistically to organizations across various touch points", explains Sonia Manchanda, Founder, Spread Design and Innovation.
