Services
Cartisan delivers end-to-end product design and development for spatial platforms — spanning strategy, discovery, requirements definition, UX/UI, prototyping, development support and iterative improvement.
As a full-stack geospatial service provider, we combine product management expertise, user-centred design and spatial fluency, enabling us to take products from concept to delivery with clarity, confidence and agility.
We work with enterprise, startups and impact organisations to build spatial tools that work — for users, developers and the business.
Enterprise & Government
Designing enterprise geospatial products and platforms
We specialise in complex spatial systems — including portals, digital twins, open-source and Esri-based applications, operational tools and reporting environments.
Our enterprise work blends UX strategy, spatial information design and deep technical understanding to support development teams, reduce delivery risk and ensure the final tool lives up to the vision and expectations of the organisation. We take a best-practice, evidence-based approach that strengthens delivery partnerships and supports smooth implementation.
Services include:
Product discovery and requirements definition
UX and UI design
Information architecture for data-rich applications
Geospatial UX: map interactions, workflows, layers
Wireframes, prototypes, design systems
Developer-ready specifications
Design QA and implementation support
Brand-aligned UI for off-the-shelf Esri platforms (Enterprise, Portal, AGOL, JS API)
Startups & Scaleups
Full-stack product support from zero to launch and beyond
We partner with emerging and high-growth teams to shape spatial or data-driven products from the ground up.
Acting as a fractional product team, we help startups move fast while maintaining clarity, quality and direction. We plug capability gaps, provide product leadership, and support founders through strategy, design, delivery and team growth so the product matures alongside the business.
Our role evolves with the company. We begin as hands-on makers in the early stages, then transition into advisors who help secure investment, hire talent and build a sustainable product foundation. We stay with you until your product and team are ready to thrive independently.
Services include:
Product strategy & positioning
Vision setting, product narrative, investment readiness (roadmaps, pitch materials).
Rapid prototyping & validation
MVP definition, prototyping, user testing, market fit validation.
UX/UI design & interaction design
End-to-end design of interfaces, flows and spatial experiences.
MVP development & technical guidance
Architecture advice, spatial technology stack selection, workflow design.
Team growth & fractional leadership
Hiring support, capability uplift, ongoing product and delivery leadership.
Post-launch iteration & continuous improvement
Supporting you until your team is confident, capable and ready to run independently.
Impact & Creative
Maps that support culture, community and causes
We love working with organisations who create impact — from festivals to neighbourhood projects and public campaigns. These maps are crafted to engage audiences, tell stories and make complex information simple.
Because this work is important, we frequently support it through discounted, pro-bono or sponsorship arrangements, depending on the organisation and project needs.
We bring the same product-quality design to these projects as we do to enterprise platforms, just shaped for public engagement and community outcomes.
Services include:
Custom interactive maps and microsites
Brand-aligned cartography and visual design
Web and app map integrations
Spatial storytelling and narrative design
High-engagement UX for public audiences
Print and social media map assets
