Vibe coding is getting a lot of attention, but how does it hold up in practice? Our developers ran Lovable through six real builds across different complexity levels to find out. Read our findings on OXD Labs: https://bit.ly/4up2t8f

Can AI modernize your legacy system? The honest answer: not alone. Modernization is a disciplined, human-centred effort—AI belongs in the loop, not in the driver's seat. Read why the "auto-modernize" button doesn't exist, and what a pragmatic path actually looks like. https://bit.ly/3Snuxvn

Sometimes the way we define a problem is the problem.

Frame Creation is a method for stepping back and reframing challenges entirely—so you can find approaches you might have otherwise missed. Learn more about the method and grab our free worksheet to try it yourself: https://bit.ly/4nW8xnq

Testing when there’s no single correct answer?

Generative AI breaks the one assumption every QA process is built on. Our QA team on what comes next, and why the real work starts before anyone writes a test.

Automated accessibility scans find issues. They don't explain them. We wanted to know whether could fill that gap. Not by replacing the tester, but by coaching them through the process in real time.

50+ combined years of expertise!
Happy work anniversaries to Duncan, Kallie, Joey, and Lawrence! Duncan is celebrating 4 years, Kallie is at 9 years, Joey has 11 years, and Lawrence has 27 years with OXD. That kind of longevity doesn't happen by accident—it's the result of a culture where people are trusted, challenged, and genuinely valued. Congrats!

The draw is compelling: an AI agent capable of generating UI that actually matches your mockups. But the problem is clear: design style guides are written for humans, not agents. We built a tool to bridge that.

There’s something AI can’t get right about design.

Our latest article is a candid conversation with Art Director James Byun on taste, judgment, and what it actually takes to know if AI-assisted work is good enough.
