A small, senior team in Manchester.
We design and build software for organisations where getting it wrong costs something: ports, telecoms, regulated services and the places people work.
Third Eye Open started as a UX/UI practice and grew into a full design and engineering studio. The name is about seeing the whole picture: the people, the data and the operation behind every screen.
We’ve built a digital twin for a tier-one port authority, platforms behind consumer brands used by millions, and the tools people use to run workplaces, holiday parks and claims. We also run our own products: TEO Sense, live environmental sensing for buildings, and ScoreUX, instant UX reviews of any screen.
Every project is led by a senior designer who stays with it from the first workshop to launch and beyond. Design and engineering sit in the same team, so what gets designed is what gets built.
The studio is led by its founder, Martin Chadwick. He has spent over fifteen years designing and building digital products, and runs TEO’s own products, TEO Sense and ScoreUX.
How we think
Systems first
A screen is one part of a bigger operation. We design the data flows, integrations and handovers around it, because that is where products succeed or fail.
Design you can build
We design with real data and real constraints, and we tell you early if a brief needs to change. Nothing gets discovered in production.
Quiet interfaces
Clear hierarchy, nothing decorative, nothing in the way. The best interface is the one people stop noticing.
