UX Spot is a user research & design agency in China & APAC

We're a UX research & design agency in China & APAC decoding user behavior to shape exceptional user experiences

Born from a passion for user-centric research, generative design, and deep cultural understanding, UX Spot transforms research insights into innovative design experiences that drive business growth.

Our story

What began in 2014 as a product innovation agency in China evolved into something far more significant. As Digital Creative, our parent company, crafted experiences and solutions for ambitious brands, we discovered a crucial truth: the most impactful solutions emerge from a deep understanding of user behavior, market dynamics, and cultural context.

While others still treated research and design as an afterthought, we recognized their transformative power. We evolved alongside China's transformation from market follower to global innovator. The mounting complexity of user expectations and fierce market competition demanded a new approach—one that went beyond surface-level design to tackle fundamental user challenges across all industries and touchpoints.

This realization led us to establish UX Spot in 2017, complete with our custom-built research lab and a dedicated team of specialists. We've since expanded our focus across APAC, helping brands navigate the region's diverse landscapes and solving complex experience challenges that traditional research methods often miss.

Our approach

We don't just execute research methodologies—we solve complex design problems. Our work combines rigorous investigation with strategic thinking to uncover the deeper patterns and cultural nuances that shape user behavior.
