DesignMap is a San Francisco UX design consultancy helping enterprises like Adobe, Salesforce, and Wells Fargo design and modernize software products.
DesignMap is a product strategy and user experience design consultancy founded in San Francisco in 2006. Over roughly two decades, it has grown to somewhere between 51 and 200 employees, with a second office in Omaha, Nebraska, and has built a client roster of well-known enterprise brands including Adobe, Salesforce, Cisco, eBay, Docker, Bloomberg, and Wells Fargo.
Rather than shipping its own software product, DesignMap operates as a services firm: companies hire its designers and strategists to help plan, design, and ship their own digital products, with a recent emphasis on helping enterprises turn early-stage AI experiments into features customers will actually adopt.
DesignMap's core service lines cover next-generation product strategy (helping leadership teams align on direction and priorities), product and service design (building the actual interfaces and experiences), and skills development workshops that upskill a client's internal teams rather than leaving them dependent on outside consultants indefinitely.
More recently the firm has built out AI-specific offerings, including AI-focused workshops, product reimagination engagements for adding AI capabilities to existing tools, and legacy product modernization work aimed at bringing older enterprise software up to current UX standards while incorporating AI features.
DesignMap does not publish pricing, which is standard for a project-based design consultancy rather than a software subscription. Engagements are scoped and quoted individually based on the size of the project, the mix of strategy versus hands-on design work, and the timeline required.
Prospective clients typically start with a discovery conversation to define scope before receiving a proposal, similar to other boutique enterprise design and strategy firms; there's no self-service pricing page or fixed package list.
