About Slide UX
Since our founding in 2012, we have been a remote team headquartered in Austin, TX. Our team is distributed throughout the U.S., and supported by a network of partners and contractors that extend our reach.
We’re an employee-owned family business, and it shows in our culture, which centers on team empowerment, sustainability, continuous evolution, and our hallmark: unparalleled client experience.

We make it really easy to be our client.
Consultative, resourceful, proactive, and optimistic, we take a broad view of what UX should bring to the table. For well over a decade, we’ve been driving clarity and untangling messes.
Our clients relax, knowing exactly where things stand at all times. They know they’re in good hands, and they often say that meeting with us is a highlight of their week.
Slide UX is managed carefully and transparently. We don’t reward stress or overwork, and we pursue thoughtful, manageable growth. Incentives are aligned; we thrive when our clients do.
Our Founding Story
Erin Young
Founder & Partner
Brant Young
Founder & Partner
Erin and Brant met at National Instruments (NI), one of the earliest tech companies to establish a presence in Austin, TX. The collaborative and employee-friendly culture at NI made it a great place to work, and inspired the culture that Erin and Brant ultimately built at Slide UX.
After seeing first-hand the challenges of both in-house and agency UX early in her career, Erin started her own freelance UX and Information Architecture practice. It quickly took off, and Brant joined her full-time in 2012 when the pair founded the consultancy now known as Slide UX.
