Designing with Purpose,
Built on Legacy,
Driven by Innovation
At Brady UX, design isn’t just what we do — it’s part of our DNA. Our story begins long before today’s digital age, rooted in the creative legacy of Howard Brady, a graphic designer who built his career designing books, magazines, and product packaging. His belief was simple but profound: design is not decoration — it’s communication, clarity, and respect for the audience’s time. That belief shaped the Brady family for generations, and today, it powers everything we do at Brady UX.
A Family Legacy Meets Modern Innovation
Founded by Brady Starr and Olya Androsik, Brady UX is a next-generation design consultancy blending craftsmanship, innovation, and human-centered design. We are not just another design agency. We’re a boutique powerhouse — small enough to care deeply about every project, yet experienced enough to handle complex enterprise challenges with the precision and speed global companies demand.
Together, Brady and Olya bring decades of combined experience — spanning startups, enterprise design teams, AI-powered products, and user-centered innovation. With Jackie Albright driving strategic partnerships and Lizzie Toto injecting fresh design energy into our process, we operate as a close-knit team with a global mindset.
Our Mission: Designing Simplicity at Scale
We believe great design should save time, not waste it. Every second a user spends confused by an interface is a failure of design. That’s why we craft every experience with three guiding principles:
✅ Simplicity: Clarity beats complexity, every time.
✅ Efficiency: Great design works harder, so users don’t have to.
✅ Empathy: Real people, real needs — our designs start there.
Whether we’re helping a founder bring their startup vision to life, supporting a growing SaaS team with a design system overhaul, or embedding directly into an enterprise to transform their digital workflows, our goal is always the same: design experiences that respect people’s time — and your bottom line.
Our Signature: Designed to Be Signed
In the Brady family, artists signed their work when they were proud of it. We keep that tradition alive at Brady UX. Every project we deliver — from a product prototype to a full-scale design system — is signed with our name, a mark of craftsmanship and care.
Our logo, a cursor shaped like a hand, tells that story. Inspired by the Brady Family Crest — a hand reaching toward the sun — it symbolizes creativity, craftsmanship, and guidance. Today, the cursor-hand represents modern interaction design, where every touch, swipe, and click matters. And the sun? That’s the product itself — bright, clear, and effortless to use.

How We Work: The DRAGON Process
Every project we touch follows our proprietary DRAGON Process — a flexible but disciplined framework that blends creativity, research, and rapid iteration. This process allows us to move fast without compromising quality — from discovery to final delivery.
Ethical AI: Designed Responsibly
AI is a powerful tool — but it’s not a shortcut for creativity. We embrace AI to enhance our workflows, speed up research, and uncover insights, but every final design decision is human-made. We believe in ethical AI — technology that empowers users, not manipulates them. That’s why we’ve committed to transparent, bias-aware design practices and ongoing education for our team and clients.
