We spent around $10,000–$50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from September 2025–January 2026.

What challenge were you trying to address with Bricx?

We needed to build a UX for a product that hadn’t been built before.

Bricx has provided product design services. The goal is to deliver a dev-ready design with fast iteration. Every iteration starts with an AI prototype that’s rapidly developed with feedback from our team. Then, the team builds it on Figma and shares the dev-ready designs with us for implementation. Bricx also continuously researches competitor products and other AI products for inspiration while ensuring that we have a distinct design language.

Bricx has helped us imagine existing workflows in a new, never-before-done way. Our prototype-to-production time has been rapidly cut down since working with Bricx. What used to take weeks now takes days, sometimes even hours.Moreover, we’ve received positive external feedback. For example, the CEO of a fast-growing YC startup told us, “Who did your designs? They look slick!” We’ve also shared prototypes with our users, and they find that the visuals and layouts look great and are easy to understand.

How did Bricx perform from a project management standpoint?

Bricx has always delivered on time. The team sets the right expectations and tries to deliver ahead of time as best as possible. If they need to spend more time on something, they communicate clearly why it’s necessary.We primarily communicate via email and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Bricx’s communication style is impressive. The team welcomes feedback openly, so I almost never have to share the same feedback twice. They’re also excellent at async-first communication and have quick response times for ad hoc requests.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything for Bricx to improve. We have a great partnership overall. Both sides have been receptive to feedback and continuously improving.

Complete Figma design file (desktop & mobile) with a mini style guide.

BRICX managed the project with quiet precision. A single Figma project board laid out each step—discover, design, build—and weekly check-ins, plus the Slack channel is gold, kept the dialogue open, replies coming within minutes always. Feedback loops were swift, and the late chatbot request folded in without delay. Smooth, on time, no ripple left unattended.
