About us
Better products. Less risk. Faster.
Precode is an independent UX design agency that helps ambitious product teams to create better products faster using our 5-day UX Sprints
Our approach
The antithesis of the traditional design agency
You need to move fast, ship products, learn from the market, and iterate. That can't happen if your design agency is still figuring out how to include every member of their team.
Precode is the antithesis of a traditional design agency. We are all experienced digital product designers and we use a fast-paced, agile approach to product design to make the most of the available resources, be it time, budget or team.
Prototypes, not presentations
In our experience, the biggest ideas usually come from hard work during iterative design and solution development.
One team: Client + Precode
We ask our clients to participate directly with us in an intensely collaborative process. The result is one combined team, making things the right way, with less time invested in presentations and arbitrary deliverables.
You get the 'A team'
We are a small team of experts. There are no layers. That means when you engage with us the people you had your first meeting with are the same people designing your product, leading your design sprint, attending your user testing sessions.

No busy-work
When you pay for a design agency, at least 50% of your budget is going to "busywork". This is simply work that keeps the agency employees busy, but has absolutely no value for you
Yeah, we know that design agencies don't like when we point this out, but it's true: The large-scale, complicated hierarchies and superstar creative directors that were once key to agencies' successes are now exactly what's putting them in the ground. As agencies struggle to "go digital" and adapt their existing structure to a world that no longer has time to hang around and wait for them to get it right, we ask "Why should a project take 6 months, when it could take 8 days?".
No busy-work. Promise.
