Founded in 2016
Austin-based product design lab established in 2016.
Proto UX was established in Austin in 2016, initially using "Proto" to mean prototype and now describing its work as protocol design. The lab designs the logic behind digital products. Its approach connects cognitive science with system architecture, mapping user intent and planning for complex error states and recovery paths. It also conducts code-first validation in the browser, then builds production-ready systems rather than handing off designs alone. Work includes interface design, state machines, data schemas, and agentic systems. Proto UX focuses on high-complexity domains such as fintech and data, particularly for engineering-led teams. Its modern development stack includes Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Shadcn/ui, Supabase, and Vercel. The business is based in Austin and serves product teams.
