product design, brand, and working software.
considered from the first question
to the last detail.
the tools can make almost anything.
the question is what’s worth making.
brady UX is an independent studio led by Brady Starr. i help founders, product teams, and agency partners turn complicated ideas into experiences people can actually use.
AI is part of the craft. the decisions, the care, and the name on the work are mine.
bring me the difficult part ↗you’re setting up a new workspace.
you just want to invite your team.
nine equally weighted settings. the thing you came to do is somewhere in the middle.
invite your people. the other settings
can wait until you need them.
profile · appearance · integrations · billing · members · permissions · notifications · automations · import data
the brand changes. the standard doesn’t.
work for clients, then products
i’ve designed and put into the world.
three years designing a behaviour-change app
for teams building new habits.
keep the daily step at the centre of everything.
four years, one product. the daily step, community, streaks, habits and an AI concierge, designed and redesigned as the company grew.
night / coral / violet
a recipe experience built around
the person holding the fork.
start with taste. let the recipe follow.
taste is personal. a warm, expressive identity and a taste fingerprint you can see.
cream / coral / sage
25 projects for one partner:
websites, logos and billboards.
each community gets a site and a brand of its own.
one partner, many places. manufactured-home communities and dealers, each designed to feel like home.
charcoal / Bild red / white
branded sites with live inventory,
run by each dealer's own team.
stop rebuilding the same backend. design it once, as a platform.
born from the Bild work. after dozens of manufactured-home sites, the pattern became a product.
white / slate / field green
track the work. show the client.
close the tab in one tap.
show the money, not just the minutes.
proof, not surveillance. clients see what was done, with links to the real work. no screenshots, no keystroke logging, ever.
ink / paper / live orange
a little less noise.
a lot more possibility.
job hunting is already hard. make the experience feel like someone’s on your side.
the person, before the profile. a considered shortlist with reasons, in a warm illustrated world.
cream / rust / a little company
a web interface that lives inside
a solar charge controller.
answer one question at a glance, for the electrician on site.
safety-critical and size-constrained. served from the device itself, so every screen has to earn its place.
slate / solar yellow / signal blueproduct direction, user journeys, and a working prototype to turn “what if” into something you can evaluate.
i have an idea ↗untangle a difficult flow, give the interface a clearer hierarchy, and build a design system that holds together.
something isn’t working ↗senior design support for agencies and in-house teams. a thoughtful partner who can carry a defined piece of the work.
i need a partner ↗a new screen can feel like progress. there’s something to point at, something to approve, something to build. but sometimes it gives the person using the product one more thing to figure out.
take the workspace example above. every setting has a reason to exist. that doesn’t mean every setting deserves equal attention when someone arrives for the first time.
the useful question is: what is this person trying to do right now? inviting a teammate gives the screen a purpose. the other settings can remain available without competing with that purpose.
AI makes it easier to explore both versions. that is valuable. choosing a direction still takes context, care, and a willingness to test what you think you know.
that’s the work i want the brady mark to stand for.
Brady Starr / studio notea rough idea. a stubborn problem.
a project that deserves more care.
