Principles
Be honest and ethical in how we design and build products that create a safe and easy to use interface to our customers
Embrace accessibility and make sure our products are inclusive and meet accessibility requirements
At ZDS our design process isn´t just focused on building products - its aimed at creating products with real users at the core. We continually test and learn to create products that add value to our customers lives.
By using a common language we build consistency by aligning our values and sharing knowledge across Zurich
Every user is different and so is their device and internet access that is why the foundation of ZDS has been designed and built to effortlessly adapt to these factors in order to always provide the best experience possible
