Every part of life gets more complicated as abilities change. Those changes reach a person's family, friends, and the professionals who support them. Attention, memory, emotional load, and trust all shape whether someone adopts your product. Our senior product designers and user researchers bring real users into the process so your team builds on evidence rather than assumptions.

What we do. Experience audits, generative research, usability testing with older adults and care partners, and competitive research. UX and UI design, product management, and design strategy. Accessibility and inclusive design. Design systems and rapid prototyping.

Part of the ecosystem. As vetted members of the AgeTech Collaborative from AARP, we're embedded in the global network of innovators, investors, and industry leaders working to make aging easier. We also host the Designing for Dignity podcast.

Selected work 

  • A digital home for the familial Alzheimer's community.
  • A rare disease nonprofit that raised $90K in seven months.
  • A national senior care referral service.
  • A legacy planning app built from zero to prototype in three weeks.
  • A companion app for a brain health wearable.
  • Our redesign for Motion Industries earned a Baymard Institute award.

 

We also work in complex technical domains, including enterprise software, cybersecurity, education, and government. Dense, high-stakes interfaces are where our research approach earns its keep, and it is the same discipline that makes a product usable for someone whose abilities are changing.

Family-owned, majority woman-owned, and owner-operated. Headquartered in Austin, TX and serving product teams since 2012.

We had the pleasure of working with Slide UX on a recent project requiring deep user engagement and thoughtful design. Much of this work was particularly tricky, as the workflows were for expert users in a complex system, and the focus was ensuring users can do their work quickly and with a high degree of accuracy.Their team expertly helped us conduct workshops to gather insights from end users, identifying pain points and refining complex requirements. Their ability to translate these discussions into clear, actionable designs and wireframes was invaluable, ensuring that the final deliverables were both highly usable and aligned with our needs.Beyond their technical expertise, Slide UX consistently demonstrates exceptional professionalism and responsiveness. They collaborated seamlessly with our team for about a year, maintained clear communication throughout the process, and consistently delivered high-quality work on schedule. Their keen eye for detail and ability to create a set of cohesive design elements across our larger application suite further strengthened the outcome. We highly recommend them to any organization looking for smart, user-focused design solutions. "

As a UX designer at SolarWinds, I had the opportunity to work closely with the team at SlideUX during the redesign of our company website, and I couldn't be more impressed with their professionalism and expertise. From the outset, their team demonstrated a clear understanding of our goals, offering valuable insights tailored to our business needs and our users' expectations. They consistently delivered high-quality work, providing detailed audits, wireframes, mockups, and site maps aligned perfectly with our vision. The professionalism and attention to detail were evident at every stage, making the entire process seamless and efficient.One of the biggest challenges we faced during the project was our evolving company strategy, which often led to shifting priorities and new direction mid-project. Despite these hurdles, SlideUX was incredibly adaptable. Their team not only met each new challenge with a solution-oriented mindset but also communicated proactively with our internal team to ensure that every change was integrated smoothly into the design. Whether it was refining the user experience for a newly prioritized feature or adjusting the visual language to better reflect our updated branding, SlideUX's ability to pivot while maintaining design integrity was invaluable.Throughout the process, SlideUX didn't just design for us they also took the time to consult with our internal UX team, offering mentorship and sharing best practices. This collaboration helped strengthen our own design capabilities and ensured we were aligned with modern UX standards. The final product is a sleek, modern website with a much-improved user journey that is intuitive, engaging, and aligned with our broader business goals. Thanks to SlideUX, we now have a user experience that not only looks great but also performs seamlessly, setting a strong foundation for future growth. "

Working with SlideUX was a great experience. They helped us step outside of ourselves, look beyond our assumptions, and consider alternative perspectives. Throughout the process, I felt involved and heard. The way that research results and recommendations were presented was very helpful and accessible. All of the recommendations from Slide were based on solid rationale and user research. The end result is a solid direction that we might not have envisioned for ourselves when we started. "

The American Board of Radiology has been a SlideUX client for over 7 years and we could not be happier with the partnership. SlideUX has been essential to our success on multiple projects. We get consistent feedback that our applications are easy to use and look great. Even our most vociferous critics often note how well our software is designed. There has not been a single time the SlideUX team has not exceeded our expectations. They are a joy to work with. "

I'd used Slide UX at another company and was delighted to work with them again. Their suggestions were clear, actionable and effective. Many agencies claim to "do UX" but this team lives and breathes it. They're super user-centric (swoon!) and a pure delight to work with. "

I had the pleasure of working with Slide UX for a project at my prior employer. We had an ambitious project with an ambitious timeline that my team simply didn't have the resources to help with. When we decided to bring in outside help I was leery that we would be able to find a partner who would be able to adequately grasp the complexities of our business in such a short amount of time, but Slide UX blew my expectations out of the water. I look forward to working with them in the future. "

During my time working on a project to re-architect company websites with Slide UX, I was consistently impressed both with guidance provided and the authoritative methodology driving that guidance. They were able to leverage both data-driven insights and proven design patterns to provide actionable notes and proposals. The process was helpfully interactive, iterating on designs with questions and refinements that helped reshape our sites over time, improving clarity and scaleability. "
