The problem we’re solving
Let’s face it–top-tier product designers and UX agencies are expensive. This makes it difficult for your growing company to recruit the right talent.
You may often be forced to jump from idea or customer complaint straight to the engineering team for a solution. Without an product design expert there along the way to ensure the experience is user-friendly and aligned with your business goals, you run the risk of making costly mistakes, plateaued growth, or a decline in sales and user engagement.

FAQs
What is the history and background of Founders Who UX?
Founders Who UX is powered by the elite 10-year-old product design agency, Gallardo Labs. Our team of experts has played a pivotal role in helping companies generate over $2 billion in revenue and secure more than $210 million in funding. Our Gallardo Labs approach is one where lean teams of subject matter experts co-create solutions with stakeholders that focus on outcomes rather than deliverables. We’ve cultivated a shared UX mindset where curiosity is relentless, mistakes are opportunities, and design is another word for problem-solving. Some notable clients of ours include Carnival Cruise Line, GE, Virgin Voyages, Brightline Trains, Frida, and MDLIVE. After a decade of building client relationships, our Gallardo Labs team unveiled another challenge in the tech industry: Expert UX and product design solutions often remain out of reach for midsize organizations, even with the innovative lean model we pioneered. In 2022, our founder Nicole Gallardo launched Founders Who UX to tackle this issue by providing premium practical user experience and product design resources, team training, and consulting to growing companies.
