Border

Border, which trades online as Border UX, is a design and development consultancy for enterprise software teams. Its work centres on user experience: finding out how people really use a product, then turning that into design systems, interfaces and working front-end code. The firm pairs field research with its own tooling that speeds up analysis of interviews.

What Border offers

• Design systems — Figma UI kits, themes and coded components, delivered over a period of weeks.
• User research — journey mapping, interview sprints and contextual inquiry to surface the workarounds users rely on.
• Interview analysis tooling — custom tools that run inside a client's own systems to classify and sort user interviews.
• Custom software — UI design plus the front-end and MCP integration work needed to ship it.
• Recursica — its own open-source design token system, released under the MIT licence, with theming and parity between Figma and code.
• Brand and marketing work — websites, sales decks, paid ads and trade show material through Cozy, a studio it acquired.
