UX growing tall in South Africa
“A meaningful experience, if done well, will become a shareable experience.” Polymorph got the opportunity to take a peek inside the rapidly growing User Experience Industry and Community in South Africa. Six Polymorph employees attended the second annual UX Conference at the Waterfront in Cape Town last month. We heard from a number of fantastic […]
Why Polymorph is a great workplace for everyone
It’s 7am in the morning and I’m still in bed.Upon hearing the beep on my cellphone announcing a direct/group message, I get out of bed. It’s my Agile Manager and she’s already hard at work. The six weeks since I joined Polymorph has been a life-changing experience. Although I have spent only a few days […]
Annual Introspection – Part 2
Continuing on our introspection, posted a while ago, Richard continues his overview of what being Polymorph has taught us about tech. “We help our partners build the mobile user interfaces their products need. We focus mostly on IoT and wearables, as well as FinTech products. These are areas where exciting, innovative products are being developed, […]
The Apple DOES fall far from the Android.
After starting my job at Polymorph as an app designer three years ago, I became a huge Apple enthusiast, I thought NOTHING came close to Apple. Their products, their designs, the company, nothing or no-one could persuade me to think otherwise. I even became interested in developing iOS apps, because I thought Android/Windows/Blackberry didn’t stand […]
“Good?” said the design. “Don’t call me good! I’m the scariest UX in this wood.”
I spent part of my morning catching up on the Polymorph Slack channels. As usual there’s been a lot of interesting links posted over the last few days. I noticed something while reading the linked articles. Many writers would refer to ‘good’ or ‘great’ UX. I’ve heard people say this before, and it has always […]
The Microsoft Surface Book – A Step In The Right Direction
“My opinion is that Microsoft have really turned the corner, and are back to being a very innovative company. The momentum was against them in the last few years, but they seem to be winning back the consumer heart slowly but surely. These are great products finally on the level where they can actually compete […]

The first Hack Day of 2015
At our last hackday for 2014 we dove into the realm of IoT (Internet of Things) by controlling access to our office with connected hardware controlled using Mobile applications over the internet. The hardware we used for this was the Spark Core development Kits (Now called Particle – http://www.particle.io/prototype). Essentially it is a tiny Wifi […]
A Day Without Shoes
The grass was frosty, so were our our feet. The team of Polymorph decided to go without shoes for one day, donating our shoes for people less privileged than us. It was everything but easy. Our toes went dead and at the end of the day we couldn’t feel our feet. With challenges like walking […]
A Peek Into The Life Of a Graphic Designer
Geek is the new Glam. Or so they say… If we go back ten years, working in tech was reserved for the socially awkward human beings. Those who communicate better with machines than people. But nowadays, flaunting your latest app or showing off your coding skills will definitely get you on top of; not only […]
