Making everyday experiences more beautiful is what drives us, it builds business value for the companies we work with.

Everyone at Ziba shares a passion for delivering and delighting, it’s pushed us through some challenging times.

Looking back: An impossible deadline hung over the project: to design, engineer and deliver a full-sized foam prototype of a revolutionary kidney dialysis system. After four all-nighters, with minutes to spare, an exhausted, exhilarated team of Zibites piled into a VW bus to deliver a full-sized foam prototype. We won the contract and the resulting product set the standard for kidney dialysis for years to come.

In the third installment of our Behavior Change blog series, we’re discussing how the human desire for recognition and social approval can guide behavior change.

People have been trying to “keep up with the Joneses” for millennia. But beyond just convincing people to buy things, social approval can nudge all sorts of new behaviors, from quitting smoking and staying active to volunteering and giving to charity.

What kind of in-store experience does it take to fight online upstarts? The line between eyecare and eyewear was getting in the way of a great customer experience for Luxottica. So we decided to get rid of it.


Luxottica is one of the world’s leading eyewear brands, but that didn’t make it immune to competition from cheap online alternatives. Faced with declining market share, they needed to grow foot traffic, sales, and brand loyalty. But first they needed to understand what a “uniquely Luxottica retail experience” was…and what it could be.



Ziba worked with Luxottica’s brand team to clarify their unique brand promise, which informed a complete new retail experience strategy. Physical stores became ‘service centers’, and a dizzying 18-stage customer journey was simplified to just three service touchpoints. We took cues from theater and educational theory, to guide customers through the streamlined experience. Then we prototyped and refined it at full scale, until it was intuitive and satisfying in a way no online retailer could match. Environmental and communication design—from story and imagery to digital touchpoints—reinforced the brand’s superior quality, value, and fashion.


The pilot OPSM ‘service center’ launched in central Sydney, and within a year had shown sales growth of 6.8%—despite growing competition from online upstarts. The concept has gone on to inform redesigns in nearly 80 stores throughout Australia.

In the second installment of our Behavior Change blog series, we’re discussing how integrating positive consequences into design can help guide behavior change.

If someone tells you you’re especially good at drawing, you tend to draw more. Getting good grades inspires feelings of pride that often prompt us to work harder. For most of us, in fact, not a day goes by without some kind of positive feedback reinforcing one of our behaviors, whether it’s in the way we engage with social media, choose where to spend our money, or make decisions about our health.
