Best UX Design Agencies in Nashville (2026)

Introduction

Nashville has a small but capable group of UX and product design firms, and the eight below all design and build digital products from offices in the city or in Brentwood. Most combine design with engineering, so the same team that maps the user journey also ships the app.

The city’s product work is shaped by its healthcare industry. HCA Healthcare and dozens of health-tech companies are based in the region, and several firms here count medical device makers, care platforms and health systems among their clients. The market also consolidated over the past two years: Pyxl acquired Cobble Hill and HOOK in 2025, and the product studio Ovyl joined the Goods & Services group in 2026 while keeping its own name and team.

Every firm listed shows a working Nashville office on its own website in 2026. The list is unranked. Choosing between them depends on whether you need research and design alone, or a partner that will also engineer and maintain the product.

The best UX design agencies in Nashville

1. Pyxl

Independent, founder-owned · The Gulch · pyxl.com

Pyxl is a digital agency for B2B and ecommerce brands, founded by Brian Winter in 2008 and run today by Brian and Bonnie Winter as co-CEOs. It has worked from Demonbreun Street since 2010 and opened a second office in Charleston in 2020. In 2025 it acquired Cobble Hill and HOOK, a past Ad Age Small Agency of the Year winner.

Experience is one of its four practices, covering journey mapping by decision-maker, interactive prototypes, checkout improvements and accessibility testing to WCAG AA. Recent work includes a pricing platform rebuild for Celero Commerce, the Regal Crown Club loyalty programme with more than 14 million members, and a shared commerce backend for The North American Guitar.

2. Twin Sun

Independent · Midtown · twinsunsolutions.com

Twin Sun is a Nashville software studio on Division Street that designs and builds web, mobile and AI products. UI and UX design sit alongside custom development, product development for founders and rescue work on stalled projects.

That rescue work is a large part of its reputation. It took over the Artful Agenda planner app and later built its mobile version, rewrote ProPool Inspectors’ React Native app, and launched The Sweat Exchange in autumn 2025. It has also supported NashBio’s website for seven years and built AI tools for Objective Zero.

3. Trinetix

Privately held · Brentwood · trinetix.com

Trinetix is a digital product and enterprise software firm with its US office in Brentwood and a second base in Tallinn. Experience design and product engineering are part of its growth offer, next to AI, data and legacy modernisation work for Fortune 500 clients.

Logos on its site include Coca-Cola, McDonald’s and ExxonMobil. It is visible locally too: it joined the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce, spoke at the Nashville Innovation Summit and sponsors Rock The Cradle. It suits larger organisations that want design tied to a broader platform programme.

4. UDig

Independent · Nashville · udig.com

UDig is a digital product company that designs and builds customer-facing experiences and frontline tools for enterprises. It started in Richmond, Virginia, marked 25 years in business recently, and runs offices in Nashville, Atlanta and, more recently, Detroit.

Its published results lean on adoption. A mobile point-of-sale modernisation for a Fortune 500 retailer lifted employee adoption by 40 per cent, and work for the homebuilder Clayton increased serious buyer leads by 2.5 times. It also partnered with Ferguson on a faster counter experience for contractors.

5. Ovyl

Part of Goods & Services · Nashville · ovyl.io

Ovyl is an integrated product design studio for physical, tech-enabled devices, with industrial design, mechanical, electrical and firmware engineering under one roof at its Kermit Drive studio. In 2026 it joined Goods & Services, which adds digital product design and development to its hardware skills while Ovyl keeps its brand and team.

Healthcare runs through its portfolio: a medication storage cabinet for AllyIQ, monitoring for diabetic foot ulcers with Upperline Health, and aligner work for SmileDirectClub. It is the firm on this list for products where the screen is only part of the experience.

6. LunarLincoln

Independent · Nashville · lunarlincoln.com

LunarLincoln is a boutique mobile studio that has planned, designed and built native iOS, Android and Mac apps in Nashville since 2013. Design is treated as its own phase, turning a brand and feature set into the app’s user experience before development starts.

Clients include GoNoodle, Paul C. Buff, Healthways and Griffin Technology. Recent portfolio entries cover a route and GPS tracking app for Ally Waste and a hardware-connected app for VDCI. Its focus is narrow, which helps when the brief is a single, polished mobile product.

7. DesignUps

Independent, founder-led · Nashville · designups.com

DesignUps is a Nashville design studio founded by design director Simon Carr, with around 18 years of history. Alongside branding and web development it offers UX, UI and motion design, and it built the platform for Nashville Design Week.

Its client list mixes music and civic names with larger brands: CMT, the Country Music Association, Ryman Auditorium, Cracker Barrel and Humana. The Potluck project shows its product side, combining brand strategy with UX and UI design for a SaaS app.

8. Man Over Machine

Independent · Nashville · manovermachine.com

Man Over Machine is a Nashville web and technology studio offering UI and UX design, development, automation and branding. Much of its work improves existing websites, custom apps and CRM integrations rather than starting from a blank page.

Projects include Fetch Dating, TutorUp, Lodge Squad and Lollapalooza, and its testimonials come from Empower Local and Fat Bottom Brewing. It suits teams with a live product that needs its interface and back-end workflows fixed together.

What to look for in a Nashville UX design agency

Decide first how much engineering you want from the same firm. Most Nashville product studios design and build, which keeps decisions close to the code. If you already have developers, ask whether the firm will run research and design as a standalone engagement, and what it hands over at the end.

Ask for evidence from your sector. Healthcare clients should check experience with clinical workflows, accessibility and regulated data, and ask how the team runs usability testing with patients or staff. A firm’s own case studies are a better guide than directory ratings.

Look at how research is recorded and shared. Interview recordings, journey maps and test notes often outlast the project, and a good partner will leave them in a form your team can search and reuse.

Finally, agree how review works. Product design moves through many rounds of flows, prototypes and screens, and feedback from clinicians, executives and engineers can scatter across email and chat. A single place where everyone sees the latest version, comments on it and signs off keeps the schedule intact.

How Fabric helps UX design agency teams

Fabric gives a product design team one workspace for research, design files and client feedback, with AI search across all of it. The setup for UI and UX agencies keeps each client’s briefs, flows, decks and call notes together.

Research is easier to reuse when it is searchable. Audio and video transcription turns recorded interviews and usability sessions into text with clickable timestamps, and search works by meaning across documents, images, PDFs and those transcripts, as well as connected apps such as Google Drive and Notion. Similar search finds related screens and references from a single selected image.

For early thinking, the canvas is an infinite whiteboard that embeds Figma files alongside notes and references. Clients and stakeholders can leave threaded comments through a shared link without creating an account, and annotations cover highlights and comments on PDFs and documents. Reviewers can also leave timestamped comments on video and audio and draw on images.

Any file or folder can be published as a web page for a design handover, with password protection and link analytics to see when each named recipient opened it. On Team plans, self-writing docs keep a page for each client with decisions, deliverables and open items drawn from meetings, Slack and the workspace.

Password protection and link analytics are included on Pro and Team plans, and self-writing docs on Team plans, which start from $125 a month. See plans for teams.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best UX design agency in Nashville?

It depends on the product. Pyxl suits B2B and ecommerce experiences, LunarLincoln focuses on native mobile apps, Trinetix and UDig take on enterprise programmes, and Ovyl handles connected physical devices.

Do Nashville UX agencies work with healthcare companies?

Several do. Ovyl has designed devices for AllyIQ, Upperline Health and SmileDirectClub, LunarLincoln counts Healthways among its clients, and DesignUps has worked with Humana. Ask any firm for healthcare case studies and how it handles usability testing with clinical users.

What is the difference between a UX agency and a design agency?

A UX agency researches, designs and often builds digital products such as apps, platforms and portals. A design agency usually works across identity, print, environments and websites. For multidisciplinary studios, see the best design agencies in Nashville.

Do these firms also build the product?

Most of them do. Twin Sun, LunarLincoln, Trinetix and UDig design and engineer software, and Ovyl covers hardware and firmware as well. If you only need research and design, say so at the start and agree the handover format.

Do I need a UX agency with a Nashville office?

Not always, as most product work runs remotely. A local office helps when research involves on-site visits, such as hospital or retail workflows, or when stakeholders want regular workshops in person.
