Your mission is critical.
Your systems
shouldn't slow it down.

Woman-owned. Minority-owned. Mission-ready.

A product strategy, UX design, and digital transformation studio with a decade of experience  and a government practice that has supported federal agencies, military commands, and local government entities since 2019.
We are a certified Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) and minority-owned business with over 100 years of combined team expertise. Our work spans UX design, Microsoft 365 modernization, SharePoint and Power Platform deployment, and full-scale digital transformation, all delivered within government procurement frameworks.
We've partnered with the U.S. Air Force, Space Force, AFIMSC, and local government agencies, earning SBIR Phase I, II, and III awards and continuing beyond Phase III into an ongoing engagement with our Air Force customer. That's not a contract. That's a track record.

UI/UX work that
moves the needle.

Two case studies that illustrate what embedded UX with research, strategy and execution looks like when it ships.

Sticky.io

95%Satisfaction score on the redesigned prototype with legacy users.

A complex platform serving two very different buyer types — with no UX/UI on staff. Zero personas. Zero validated flows. In 3 months we established design operations, built a design system from scratch, and redesigned the merchant and admin interfaces.

"While their skills were valuable, it was ultimately their client management and interaction that impressed us."Brett McLaughlin · CTO, Sticky.io

Acquiredby Cloudflare. Designed the product they acquired from Vectrix.

WANDR partnered with Vectrix from early-stage to help design a product compelling enough to attract one of the world's leading technology companies. Product strategy, end-to-end UX, and a design system built to ship quickly without sacrificing rigor.

"Wandr understood the strategic value of design from the start — they helped us build a product story that resonated with both users and acquirers."Corey Mahoney · Founder, Vectrix

Government digital transformation process

Validated. Agile. Human-centered.

Every government engagement starts the same way. We understand your mission, your users, your constraints, and your procurement requirements. Then we deliver solutions that work for the people using them, not just the stakeholders approving them.

01

Discovery & Align.

We align with your program managers, stakeholders, and end users on mission goals, user needs, success metrics, and security requirements before any design or development begins.

02

Research & Validate.

We conduct user research within your operational context, understanding the real workflows, pain points, and mental models of government employees and citizens who depend on these systems.

03

Design & Build.

From UX design and rapid prototyping to Microsoft 365 deployment and Power Platform development, we build solutions your teams can actually use, within your technical and compliance environment.

04

Deploy & Iterate.

We support launch, adoption, and continuous improvement, embedded alongside your team through delivery and beyond, not disappearing after the contract closes.

What our clients say

Verified Clutch reviews.

“

Their ability to understand our unique business was very impressive. We have a fairly complex business model and were concerned that they wouldn't be able to understand it enough to create an effective design — but they quickly built an understanding of who we are.

“

They wanted to see our company succeed and celebrated our wins with us. We could see they were invested in the project — they didn't just want to collect their fee and move on. By the time WANDR finished, they helped us get to 500 downloads on Android.

Why Wandr?

A Government Digital Transformation Partner That StaysBeyond the Contract.-

01 · Seniority

Women-owned. Minority-owned.

Government-proven. WANDR is a certified Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) and minority-owned business with GSA Schedule approval, active security clearances on staff, and SBIR Phase I, II, and III past performance. We meet your procurement requirements and then we exceed your mission expectations.

02 · Evidence

Human-centered by discipline.

We start with the people using the system, not the technology running it. Every engagement begins with user research, stakeholder alignment, and a clear understanding of the operational context because solutions designed for real users get adopted, and solutions designed for RFPs become shelfware.

03 · Guarantee

We stay beyond the contract.

Our Phase III SBIR engagement with the U.S. Air Force didn't end at contract completion. It grew. That's what happens when you build something that actually works, the relationship continues because the mission continues. We don't disappear after delivery.

The difference

Same mission. A digital infrastructure worthy of it.

Buildbox came to us with a no-code game development platform used by millions — but with friction that was costing them activation. Here's what changed.

Before redesign
After redesign
BeforeAfter
Before WANDR — U.S. Air Force AFMC:
  • ✕Strategic planning managed across disconnected spreadsheets and manual processes
  • ✕No unified system for tracking execution and reporting progress
  • ✕Stakeholders working in silos with no shared source of truth
After WANDR
  • ✓Unified platform for strategic planning, execution, and reporting
  • ✓Rapid prototyping validated with real Air Force stakeholders before development
  • ✓SBIR Phase I → Phase II → Phase III → ongoing engagement beyond contract completion

Who this is for

You understand that modern government doesn't run on legacy systems and manual workflows. You're ready to change that  within your procurement requirements, security constraints, and operational reality.

We work with program managers, CIOs, digital service leads, and contracting officers who understand that every delayed modernization, every system that employees work around instead of with, every citizen experience that fails at the moment of need represents more than inefficiency. It represents a mission that isn't being fully served. The technology exists. The procurement pathways exist. The question is whether your digital transformation partner understands government well enough to deliver within them.

Frequently asked.

Click any question to expand. If yours isn't here, write to us.

  1. Yes. WANDR holds a GSA Schedule contract ([FILLER — Schedule number]), which allows federal agencies to place orders directly without full and open competition. Our GSA Schedule covers.
  2. WANDR is a certified Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) and minority-owned business. These certifications support set-aside contract opportunities and agency small business goals.
  3. Yes. Multiple members of our team hold active security clearances at [FILLER — e.g. Secret] level. We are experienced working in security-sensitive environments and can operate within classified program requirements.
  4. WANDR is a SBIR Phase I, II, and III awardee. Our Phase III engagement with the U.S. Air Force has continued beyond contract completion into an ongoing relationship — demonstrating both technical capability and mission alignment. Our SBIR past performance supports sole-source justification for Air Force, Space Force, and interagency partners.
  5. We provide end-to-end Microsoft 365 services including SharePoint development and migration, Power Platform and Power Apps development, Microsoft Teams administration and governance, Azure AD / Entra ID engineering, M365 security and compliance, and workflow automation via Power Automate and RPA. Our Power Platform practice is a high-priority capability — we have Solution Architects, Canvas and Model-Driven App Developers, and Dataverse specialists available for both project-based and staff augmentation engagements.
  6. Yes. Accessibility compliance — including Section 508 and WCAG standards — is built into our UX design process, not added at the end. Government digital experiences must be accessible to all users, and we treat that as a design requirement from the first wireframe.
  7. Our government clients include the U.S. Air Force (AFMC), U.S. Space Force, AFIMSC, and local government entities. We are experienced working within military and civilian federal environments and understand the operational, security, and procurement realities of each.
  8. Contact us directly or book an appointment — we can typically begin scoping within 48 hours. For agencies with existing GSA Schedule access or SBIR sole-source pathways, we can often move to task order issuance faster than a full competitive procurement. We've been built for government timelines since 2019.
