Focus Portland was built from the ground up for the "researcher on-the-road".   For example, our double-pane one-way mirrors and special anti-reflective paint in the viewing rooms ensure the greatest privacy for your clients.  And, our floor-to-ceiling of acoustical sound-proofing in each research room gives your client's the ability to hold conversations without worrying about disturbing participants.  Also, we have placed our video cameras directly behind the mirror to avoid distracting reflections made from the viewing room, allowing for better viewing for analysis.

Let's not forget Focus Portland's greatest asset -- our staff's experience.  Our staff with 20+ years of qualitative research experience give you the confidence that your unique research needs are going to be met without any worries.
