We’re incredibly pleased to share that our long-term partners Factory 73 have been awarded the NHS Highland website design and development tender. Border Crossing UX has also been engaged to provide user experience support throughout this 3-phased development process.
We’re delighted to welcome Catherine MacEwan, our new Junior UX Designer. She’s been working closely with the rest of the team to help create artefacts that are both beautiful and usable. We sat down with her to learn more about her background and inspirations.
Scott Campbell joined our team as a Junior Designer in January and has been hard at work creating visually compelling products for our clients. We sat down with him to learn more about what he does, why he decided to join Border Crossing UX and what drives his inspiration.
The 3rd Monday in January is now widely known as ‘Blue Monday’, the most depressing day of the year. So, on a day where it would be easy to get fixated on the negatives, we thought we’d share positive examples of communities, governments, businesses, and individuals coming together to improve the world.
At Border Crossing UX we always work to influence positive change. We know that’s a goal that many of you share. That’s why we’ve gathered our favourite sustainable digital tips to help you be more environmentally friendly. See how you could have an impact.
As another strange year draws to a close, we would like to wish you all a safe and incredibly Happy Christmas. And most importantly, a massive thank everyone who has made 2021 a special year at Border Crossing UX, despite the tough context.
Rebecca Nurlu is our new Marketing Specialist here at Border Crossing UX. With her she brings a wealth of experience in marketing, and a passion for user experience. We sat down with her to find out a bit more about why she joined the consultancy, and what she’s enjoying so far.

Here at Border Crossing UX we’ve had a wonderful opportunity to run a foundation apprenticeship work placement in Business and Skills for Edinburgh College. Over the last 3 months, we’ve been working with Tanisha Rahman on developing her research, communication, marketing, and business skills.
Our application to continue as a named supplier across all four lots, (digital outcomes, digital specialists, user research studios and user research participant recruitment), of the Crown Commercial Service’s Digital Outcomes and Specialists 5 framework has been accepted.
As 2020 comes to a close it seems an understatement to say this has been quite a year. For all of us this has been a year of upheaval, worry and fear. But it has also been a moment to come together and appreciate each other. So, we want to say a big thank you to all our Clients, Partners and friends that have inspired, supported and collaborated with us in extraordinary circumstances over the last 12 months.
Investing in your competitors isn’t a common business decision. However, this is precisely what we decided to do at the start of lockdown.
