Overview

About Slide UX

UX design and research for brain change, aging, and care.

We're a user experience consultancy specializing in brain change, aging, and care. We partner with product teams building for older adults, care partners, and the professionals who support them.

Every part of life gets more complicated as abilities change. Attention, memory, emotional load, and trust all shape whether someone adopts your product. Our senior designers and researchers bring real users into the process so your team builds on evidence.

WHAT WE DO
Experience audits, generative research, usability testing, 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.

CLIENT WORK IN THIS SPACE
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. An in-home care marketplace. A legacy planning app taken from zero to prototype in three weeks. A companion app for a brain health wearable.

WE ALSO WORK IN COMPLEX TECHNICAL DOMAINS
Meta, Atlassian, Capital One, SolarWinds, Harvard, Thomson Reuters, and AT&T. Dense, high-stakes interfaces are where our research approach earns its keep, and it's the same discipline that makes a product usable for someone whose abilities are changing.

THIS FOCUS IS PERSONAL
Our team has our own family stories about brain change. Some of us have been caregivers. Some are facing the genes that cause the disease. We do this as people who have been there.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Slide UX team on several web design and UI/UX projects over the past two years, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their work. The team is not only highly skilled but also incredibly professional and responsive.

Ian and the rest of the SlideUX team are great to work with! Our team previously worked with relatively little design support, and they have made a huge difference in designing ease-to-use workflows for our users. They are very accommodating for target deadlines, incorporating suggestions, and giving multiple options to consider if requested. We had the pleasure of having Ian attend one of our off-site hackathons, and we were able to work together with him, engineers, product managers, and a handful of users to reimagine a core piece of our internal CRM. It was amazing to watch how quickly he was able to iterate on designs live!

Working with SlideUX on Planview's website redesign has been an incredibly fruitful collaboration from start to finish. Ian Herbst and Joanna Catanus kicked things off with a thorough discovery phase where they really dug into understanding Planview's software solutions, our target audience, and what makes us unique in the portfolio and project management space.

Transcat hired Slide UX to help us investigate a website redesign. The Slide UX team was courteous and led the project very well from start to finish. Their ideas were innovative and they were usually able to incorporate our feedback, with explanations as to how our feedback was translated into visuals. The project was completed on time.

We have a weekly call with SlideUX. Our site is live, but we continue to refine the site as we gather more user feedback. When we go to them with an issue we are having, they are open to our concerns and are great to offer alternatives. Sometimes they may need to take the request back to their entire team, but week after week, they come with great alternatives for our issues.

SlideUX was an excellent group to work with for our project. It was the first time engaging them and it won't be the last. Their communication about plans, expectations, scheduling and their approach was excellent. They were very detail oriented and thorough. Reviews were very professional and feedback management was great. They worked with our design system the best they could, and clearly explained when and why they deviated. It was like working with our own internal team.

App Designing (UI/UX)

We embarked on a journey to revamp our digital platforms for our external customers and they were a great partner to work with for that journey. They dug deep into the pain points our customers face when working with our old platforms by conducting one-on-one interviews to elicit feedback. Then, taking the information gathered they developed new screen-flows that will improve the process and provide a more positive user experience.

Slide UX was extremely thorough with our project. Their team challenged us with bright and calculated questions that helped our complex product achieve an updated look. Coming up with different design options for how our software could look made it easy to visualize any updates we wanted. Their constant commitment to the project and continued communication throughout exceeded our expectations.

App Designing (UI/UX)

I came to Slide UX with a fixed budget and a complicated UX redesign project. They took time to understand our goals and designed a project that would fit the budget and achieve those goals. They provided a detailed project plan with responsibilities and deliverables on both sides. We all stuck to the plan, and we were able to work through an impressive number of iterations in a short time to up-level the UX of our premium module quickly. The initial delivery of their UX changes was very highly received by our market and has increased sales of this premium module. They also gave us enough backlog designs that we continue to roll out improvements based on this very successful project.

App Designing (UI/UX)Web Design

We have had an ongoing engagement with Slide UX to support our design needs for Capital One Shopping. They've partnered with us on projects ranging from customer research to competitive analysis to feature ideation. Since the get-go, Slide UX took the right amount of time to truly understand our objectives and were able to tailor their deliverables and working style to deliver meaningful value for our team, users, and partners. I was particularly impressed by Slide UX's ability to quickly get up-to-speed in a new problem space and then rapidly iterate on actionable deliverables. It's really refreshing to work with a design agency that is able to balance strategy, velocity, and quality in a seamless way. Special shoutouts for Ian & Jeff in particular, who I worked the most closely with.
