The Private UX List

ux_list is a curated, invite-only roster of the world’s top User Experience designers across industries and geographies. It’s not a directory. It’s a hand-picked collection curated by designers with decades of experience in the craft.

What you get

• Weekly updates to a private, members-only list of vetted UX talent (IC → Principal → Head of Design).

• Global, cross-industry coverage (consumer, enterprise, health, fintech, AI, automotive, and more).

• Structured profiles emphasizing outcomes, systems thinking, and domain depth—beyond glossy portfolios.

• Signals that matter: clarity in problem-solving, aesthetic rigor, and the EQ that drives great collaboration.

• Frictionless access—reach out directly or have us facilitate an introduction upon request.

How it works

1. Request access. We verify you’re a hiring leader or recruiter.

2. Activate membership. Billed $5,000 per quarter.

3. Hire better, faster. Browse the private list, check weekly additions, and connect with confidence.

Our selection standards

We showcase designers who consistently create with clarity, delight, and purpose. Our review goes well beyond portfolios to assess:

• Simplicity in problem-solving and sound product judgment

• A refined eye for aesthetics and interaction craft

• Emotional intelligence and team impact

• Evidence of outcomes, not just outputs

Who this is for

Roles & teams

• Heads of Design, Product & Design Leadership, CTOs, CEOs, Founders

• VPs/Directors of Design or Product, Design Managers, Staff+ ICs who hire

• Heads of Talent, CHROs, TA Leaders, In-House Recruiters

• Product Managers and EPD “triads” (PM × Design × Eng) with hiring authority and budget

Company stages

• Startups (0→1): need a builder to define the first experience and ship.

• Scale-ups (1→N): need leaders to raise the bar, build systems, and mentor.

• Enterprise & regulated: need designers who know compliance, safety, and complex workflows.

Hiring scenarios

• Spinning up a new product line or incubating a bet

• Backfilling confidentially or unblocking a stalled search

• Standing up a design system or raising craft quality fast

• Building distributed teams across time zones

• Needing shortlists that are signal-rich (not 200 resumes)

If you own hiring outcomes and care about craft, clarity, and EQ—and you want a trusted, weekly-updated short list instead of a noisy marketplace—this is for you.

What this isn’t

• Not a mass marketplace

• Not a dumping ground of unvetted links
